Welcome to Day 3 of Event #21: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em
A tough and experienced field of 16 remains, ready to fight for a first-place prize of $335,000 here at Event #21: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. Former November Niner Bob Bounahra leads the way with just over 1,000,000, while online pro Thayer "THAY3R" Rasmussen is hot on his heels with 933,000.
While the remaining field is predominantly American, there will be plenty of European flavor as well, featuring sponsored pros Erwann Pecheux (France, 258,000 in chips), Mickey Peterson (Denmark, 231,000), as well as World Series of Poker Circuit national champ Dominik Nitsche (Germany, 707,000) and David Burt (UK, 237,000).
Cards are set to be in the air at 1 p.m. local time, and we're coming back to Level 22 (8,000/16,000/2,000), meaning over half of the field will be under 20 big blinds. So, expect the action to be hot out of the gate and don't go anywhere as we bring you all of the relevant updates right here on PokerNews until a champion is crowned.
