Proseguono le sfide sui tavoli londinesi dell’Hilton Metropole Hotel per questo Main Event dell’European Poker Tour, ed al termine del Day 3 sono rimasti in corsa soltanto 24 poker players, tra cui gli italiani Gustavo Zito e Roberto Nulli (in foto).
Ad inizio giornata erano 128 i giocatori ancora in gara, tra cui 6 azzurri, tutti già con un premio garantito a partire da 7.500 sterline.
I bui molto alti sin dal primo livello di giornata hanno fatto sì che le eliminazioni si susseguissero molto rapide, tra cui quelle dei celebri Jeff Sarwer, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, ed i nostri paladini azzurri Emanuele Rugini, Luca Falaschi, Salvatore Bonavena e Claudio Cecchi. L’ultimo player out del Day 3 è stato David “Chino” Reem, dopodichè è stato dato lo stop ufficiale ai giochi in attesa di disputare gli ultimi tre tavoli.
Al comando del chip count di giornata si è piazzato lo statunitense Chance Kornuth, con uno stack che supera i 2,3 milioni di chips.
