Calum_Grant

Welcome to Day 3 of Event #70: $10,000 Main Event World Championship at the 2022 World Series of Poker which is set to begin at 11 a.m. local time inside Bally's and Paris, Las Vegas.

Today's action sees the players from Day 2abc and Day 2d come together for the first time to battle it out, as the 2,993 remaining players look to take one step closer to WSOP glory.

Topping the chip counts is Day 2abc chip leader Gavin Munroe (1,061,500), the United States poker player is the only person to pilot over a seven-figure stack to Day 3. Hot on his heels is Muhammad Abdel Rahim (936,500) who bagged best in yesterday's Day 2d while Karim Rebei (932,000) rounds out the top three chip counts.

Some well-knowns who will be in the Day 3 field include Jeremy Wien, Upeshka De Silva, Michael Rocco, Bryn Kenney, Alejandro Lococo and 2012 Main Event runner-up Jesse Sylvia.

The big story from yesterday was that the late registration period finally came to a close and when the dust settled it was confirmed that there had been 8,663 entries into the Main Event. This year's tally fell slightly short of the record-setting 8,773 entries that came in the 2006 WSOP.

With a bumper field also comes an inflated prize pool. The winner of the Main Event will walk away with $10,000,000 of the $80,782,475 prize pool, as well as the prestigious WSOP Main Event Bracelet.

The plan for today is to play until the end of Level 15. The players will receive a 20-minute break upon the completion of every level and a dinner break is scheduled at the end of Level 13 (approx. 5:40 p.m. PDT) for 75-minutes. Play will resume on Level 11, with the blinds set at 1,000/2,500/2,500a.
