Welcome to Day 3 of Event #51: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack
After two flights on Day 1 and nine levels of play on Day 2, the massive starting field of 7,862 made it through the money and pared down to just 576 players.
Salvatore Bianco was the overnight chip leader, stacked at 847,000. Many notables came and went on Day 2, but joining Bianco and hundreds of others for Day 3, include the likes of Joe Serock (413,000), Jeff Madsen (381,000) and Maria Ho (364,000).
The remaining players are guaranteed at least $3,502, but things will get a bit more serious for anyone that can make their way through Day 3 of the scheduled five-day tournament.
Play is set to begin at 3 p.m. PT and PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to bring you coverage.
