As expected, there were a number of quick eliminations that occurred after the money bubble burst here in Event 3. The field is now below 100 players midway through level 21, and at this stage a min-cash is worth $490. Day 2 will continue through until the end of level 26, at which point the remaining players will bag and tag their chips onto Day 3. There will be a break in a little more than 30 minutes, and we will be brining you an update on the top stacks at that point.

With a few simultaneous eliminations, the tournament dropped from 139 players down to 135, which means that Event 3 is now in the money! We noticed a number of short stacks scattered around the room, and we can therefore expect to see a lot of all-in situations in the next few orbits.

Congratulations to those who made it in the money!

After 4 levels of play in this Day 2 of Event 3, the players have earned themselves a 15-minute break. The field has dropped down to 150 players, which means we are but 15 eliminations away from being in the money. Here is a look at the current leaderboard, with their approximate chip counts:

1. Joseph Abou-Khalil – 735,000
2. Jason Mandanici-Turcot – 670,000
3. Thomas Wintermans – 480,000
4. Terence Lai – 425,000
5. Charles-Eric Benoit – 420,000
6. Rawad Haddad – 395,000
7. J-F Lescadres – 380,000

Day 2 of Event 3 is progressing quickly, as the field has dropped down to just under 200 players from the 285 that started the day. The money bubble is not too far away, with 135 players set to be paid, and at this stage of the tournament we can expect to see a number of players emerge from the field and grow their stacks far beyond the average. Players will be on break in roughly 45 minutes, at which point we will bring you an update on the leaderboard.
