Welcome back to Day 3 of the $25,000 PokerStars Players Championship located at the Atlantis Resort in the beautiful Bahamas. Players have jockeyed for position over the course of the first couple of days and now it becomes crunch time as the money bubble is in sight of those remaining.
It was a fast-paced Day 2 that saw the 1,000 plus field dwindle down to just 207 players who will be returning on Day 3 looking to reach the money. With 181 players getting paid, the bubble is expected to burst within the first couple of levels today. For some, a min-cash of just over $25,000 will be a huge payday, especially for those Platinum Pass winners. As for others, they will certainly have their sights set on the $5.1 million first-place prize, enough to make anyone jump for glory.
Heading into the middle day of the tournament, Farid Jattin from Columbia holds the chip lead, on the verge of cracking the seven-figure mark with 921,000 chips. He doesn't have a lot of breathing room though, as big names like Mustapha Kanit (888,000), Griffin Benger (885,000), and Julien Martini (832,000) are not far behind.
It was a rough second day for the PokerStars Team Pros with many of them dropping by the wayside. Of those that are still left with a shot at winning the title include Leo Fernandez (207,000), Benjamin Spragg (113,000), and Celina Lin (12,000). Some other notables to keep an eye include Talal Shakerchi (691,000), Patrick Tardif (633,000), Kristen Bicknell (631,000), and Christoph Vogelsang (483,000).
The action is scheduled to fire up again at 12 noon with an expected eight levels on tap, subject to change based on the pace of play. The blinds will begin at 4,000/8,000 with a big blind ante of 8,000 and will still be 60 minutes in length. A 20-minute break will occur after every two levels and there will likely be a dinner break at some point as well.
The livestream will kick off at the start of the day and can be found on Twitch, or by clicking on the 'Livestream' tab. The hole cards will be shown on a 30-minute delay. As well, you can always tune in here to follow the PokerNews live reporting team for all of the up-to-date action throughout the event.
Nível: 17
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
Another eight levels are on tap today without a dinner break, and cards are in the air.

While the money bubble is within sight, there are still quite a few eliminations needed until the hand-for-hand progress begins. However, that results in many of the short stacks taking their time to make a decision. At Table 17, there are quite a few short stacks and nobody seems in a rush to play a hand.
In fact, the first at the table just completed. Tzai Wei Phua raised to 16,000 on the button and Jack O'Neill defended from the big blind. The flop came and O'Neill check-called a bet of 11,000 from Phua. The turn brought the and both players checked to the on the river.
O'Neill checked again and Phua announced all in, for roughly 250,000 effective. That is when the tanking began for O'Neill as he sat still for well over 10 minutes. Other players at the table stood up and walked around while O'Neill deliberated on what to do. Everyone at the table refused to call the clock until the tournament director finally showed up.
After another 30 seconds, O'Neill's hand was declared dead and the table was given a warning. "Just so you guys know, stalling is not allowed. If we believe you are stalling, we will look at your cards and you will be susceptible to a severe penalty."
