Before yesterday's third playing day of the WSOP Main Event, it was possible to finally seal what everyone was hoping for before the festival. The 17-year-old record was successfully broken, and the final 10,043 entries took care of a massive $93,399,900 prize pool! But it will start to be divided only on Day 4, before which a large part of the player field had to say goodbye to the tournament.
One of the biggest attractions of yesterday's Day 3 was, without a doubt, Tom "durrrr" Dwan playing on the TV table, where he fought for his first ITM placement since 2011 in front of the audience. A well-played tournament was interrupted by AA under the hands of Atchinson, but this game better enjoy yourself - could you blow almost 80bb like this?
1,517 players made it to Day 4, but ten fewer players will make it to ITM, so the bubble will only burst tonight. After that, all players will be able to enjoy a minimum reward of $15,000. Chance Kornuth (1,887,000), Nicholas Rigby (1,719,000), Chris Brewer (1,447,000), Stephen Chidwick (1,106,000), Maurice Hawkins (1,028,000), Julien Martini ( 870,000), Chris Moneymaker (778,000), Dominik Nitsche (680,000), Alex Foxen (637,000), Scott Blumstein (618,000) or Doug Polk (610,000) made it to Day 4. The chip leader is Spanish player Antonio Mallol Heredia with a stack of 1,899,000.
