Championship Day 3: Playing Down

$3,500 Championship No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 21: 6,000/12,000/2,000 Ante

Day 2 saw 361 players return from the starting 1,027 entrants and that number was whittled down to just 78 by the end of ten levels. It wasn’t until the final level of the day when they reached the money bubble with 101 in the field, before Josh Arieh’s elimination took care of hand-for-hand action.

Brian Altman leads the field into Day 3 along with Joelle Guarino and Mark Dube as the only three players in the seven-digit stack club. Plenty of big names are trying to chase them down like Nenad Medic, Vinny Pahuja, Zo Karim, Jason Koon, Michael Laake, and November Niner Amir Lehavot.

Play is about set to get underway without a specific end time. The schedule has the field playing down to the final two tables before bagging up for the night.
