Day 3 Action
The action was thick and fast at the beginning of the day with many players busting early doors including online grinder Ami "UhhMee" Barer and "$eT4x4" who came back as a top five stack today.
During level 36 (80,000/160,000/20,000) the action heated up with the field reducing from 24 to 12 in this 20 minute level alone. Miguel "CambadaDeMixos" Lopes came into day 3 third in chips but busted in 22nd ($15,742) when his shove got called by the eventual chip leader. Online crusher Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson also fell this level, in 20th ($15,742) when three-bet all-in but walked into the monster of "TiberiusA"
"luckyluck653" was the unfortunate final table bubble when his ace-queen couldn't outdraw the aces of "BernardoDG" and he bowed out in 10th for a payday of $31,485.
The final 9 players will be back tomorrow, 9 November, at 17:30 GMT and will play down until a winner is crowned. They currently have $44,527 locked up but all will be looking for the top prize of $712,429. Play will resume at 500,000/1,000,000 with an ante of 125,000.

The flop came 
giving "paoronaldo" the up and down straight draw but "TiberiusA" was still in front with ace high.

That river improved "paoronaldo" to the straight and saw the field reduce to 10.
