Heading into Day 3 of the $25,500 MILLIONS World, there are just 59 players remaining with a shot at becoming a new millionaire. The 2018 Caribbean Poker Party at the Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas has been filled with fun and games for the players, but it's time to get down to some serious business with some big money on the line.
A regular on the high roller scene, Steve O'Dwyer, will carry the chip lead into Day 3. O'Dwyer moved near the top of the leaderboard after the dinner break on Day 2, and then vaulted himself into a massive lead in the last few hands of the night. He will bring 25,650,000 with him to the table that will become the feature table after the first break of the day. Along with O'Dwyer, the table will consist of other high-stakes pros such as Alex Foxen, Manig Loeser, Rainer Kempe, and Davidi Kitai.
The field has been filled with notable names from start to finish and there are plenty more players to keep an eye on. Chance Kornuth held the lead after Day 1a and currently sits in second place with 18,245,000. Another American, Ben Tollerene, rounds out the top three stacks with 17,210,000. There are still three partypoker pros still in the field including Jason Koon (6,705,000), Joao Simao (6,470,000), and Isaac Haxton (1,370,000).
The money bubble is not far off the radar with just 39 players making the money. That is only 20 eliminations away and that could slow down the action as it approaches. A min-cash will be worth $60,000 but everyone will have their sights set on the first-place prize of $2,000,000. The top three finishers will each earn a seven-figure payday.
There are 10 levels on the schedule for today but the action will likely come to an end once the final table is reached. The blinds will resume on level 19 starting at 60,000/120,000 and a 120,000 big blind ante. They will continue to be 60 minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every two levels. There will also be a 90-minute dinner break after the sixth level of the day.
