: 100/200, 0 ante
The screens now show 110 entries, of which six are reentries, and 103 players remain near the end of level three. Registration and reentry period remain open until the end of level nine though, so expect all of those numbers to change still.

Nível 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Selim Oulmekki continues to dominate his table after busting yet another opponent and then claiming a pot by firing the 
turn for 3,500 and picking up one call. The blank river saw Oulmekki lead again and his opponent then mucked.
But the one announcement everybody heard in the tournament area was done by Anas Tadini. "Floor. We have a seat open here." He grinned and pointed towards Guillaume Darcourt, who had gone all in preflop out of the big blind with 
. Tadini aparrently looked him up from early position with 
and found a magic flop of 
. To make things even worse for the Frenchman, the 
turn and 
river gave Tadini a straight flush ...
Darcourt let the trash talk game play out and then shook hands with Tadini while laughing on the way out, but he will be back soon.

Nível 3
: 100/200, 0 ante

Baltazar Rivers the Nuts
Nível 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Abdelhadi Kondah and Erwann Pecheux are now in today's field as well and the latter is on the same table as Isabel Baltazar. Baltazar herself bet the 
river for 4,000 and her opponent from one seat over on the button tanked for some time before eventually calling.
Baltazar turned over 
for a gutshot and flush draw that got there, the opponent mucked his for the inferior straight.

Three Reentries Already
Nível 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
It seems fitting that the screens display three reentries in level three and just as suspected, Anas Tadini and Guillaume Darcourt are already back in and on their second bullet. "I wanted to change tables anyways", Darcourt had joked after his exit.
Another notable in today's field is Philippe Ktorza, who holds more than $1.7 million in tournament cashes. Ktorza's biggest payday came from a 2nd place in the 2012 WPT World Championship.

Anas Tadini got his stack in after a three-way flop of 
when facing a bet of 2,400 and a call. Tadini's shove was for massive 24,500 and the third player in the hand folded whereas Abdenbi Abida called with

for top pair and a straight draw, however the 
turn and river bricked.
"I'll be back", he said when standing up. On the way back to the tournament area he walked into Guillaume Darcourt and the Frenchman was also eliminated. Darcourt said he had three-bet big preflop with
