Day 3 of Event #68: $1,111 The Little One for One Drop No-Limit Hold'em Set to Begin
The third day is set to kick off in Event #68: $1,111 The Little One for One Drop No-Limit Hold'em at the Rio All-Suites and Casino. There were 4,732 entries collected during the first three flights of this tournament and as Day 2 came to an end only 125 remained.
There are many notable big names including chipleader Justin Liberto (1,399,000), Aditya Sushant (1,341,000), Alexandru Papazian (1,059,000), Christian Pham (956,000), Jeff Gross (780,000), Dominik Nitsche (710,000), Roman Korenev (411,000), and Arkadiy Tsinis (364,000).
One player still has a chance to continue a streak going that has not been broken since the WSOP started and that person is Benjamin Moon, with a stack of 282,000. Who will be looking to spin it up in hopes of being the first person to win a second bracelet this summer.
The players will be starting at 12 p.m. local time, playing ten one hours levels or until the final table is reached. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels of play, with a 60-minute break coming after the sixth level. All remaining players will come back for Day 4 on July 12th and will play down until a champion is crowned.
Players received a 5,000 starting stack on Day 1, and for a $111 donation, they received an additional 5,000 in chips. The donation went straight to the charity OneDrop. For more details on the work of OneDrop, click here.
