Starting this afternoon, the rest of the Main Event will be presented as a cards-up live stream (with a 30 minute security delay). The first stint presented today featured the table with Antonio Esfandiari, who is one of the chip leaders in the tournament. That table has now re-taken its spot in the main part of the Tournament Hall and a new table will be the feature table, this time Table 63, featuring the following players:

• Kristen Bicknell
• Usman Hussein Siddique
• Sylvain Siebert
• Richard Dubini
• Mikko Turtiainen
• Chi Tsun Chan
• Joshua Platz

You can view the Live Stream in an interactive format at My partypoker Live, or just click on the Live tab in the menu right here on the MILLIONS Event blog.

The second break of Day 3 has just been completed, and during this time we brought a detailed update on the leaderboard. Kevin Rivest currently leads the 142 player field with a massive 43.7 million chip stack.

Top counts heading into level 21 are listed below:

Photographs from level 19-20:

We missed the action, however when we arrived at table 56, the board was showing , and Samuel Chartier had a pair of in front of him. The dealer cut down his 10,475,000 stack, and then asked Ubaid Habib to pay out the amount. Ubaid was left with a little over 10 million after the hand, after starting Day 3 as one of the top stacks, while Samuel jumped up above 21 million.

John Richards open shoved 12 big blinds but hit a brick wall. Joseph Sicko, covering him but just a bit, went all-in himself, and the two had a pre-flop showdown:

Sicko was all smiles after gobbling Richards’ stack. He is now almost on the average, and after surviving the bubble action, is now looking to lift himself into the leading pack. Just one double-up away!

Jeff Gross was holding 3,900,000 chips when he moved all-in from early position. Jake Daniels isolated him from middle position, and the remaining players threw their cards into the muck.

Jeff couldn’t improve his hand, and was eliminated from the shrinking field, earning himself a min-cash of $10,000. The field is now down to 166 finalists, all looking to become the newest MILLIONS tournament champion.

When Eric Vanauken raised all-in for 1.2M, action was folded to Senthuran Vijayaratnam, who tanked for a while. He finally went all-in himself, for almost 8M chips. Jean-Baptiste Spencer was in the big blind and considered tagging along, but elected to stay outside of it.

Senthuran wasn’t too happy about the flop, but both the turn and the river served him, allowing his stack to gain some health and approach the 10M mark.
