Day 3 Action
It took about six hours to play down from the original 159 players who sat down on Day 3 of SCOOP-92-L: $109 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event] to the final table, and none of the big stacks to start the day ended up with chips at the end of it. Start of day chip leader "dammsugarn" busted a few levels in after getting into a huge cooler with queens against aces and ace-king.
The aces won it for "jadedjason" and they busted two players to build a nice stack. They couldn't quite manage to play it to the final table, busting in 13th for $11,751. Kevin "KRab42" Rabichow was one early big stack to survive a bit longer. He made it to 26th place for a bit more than $5,000.
The final day starts Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. eastern time, and they'll play it down to a winner. Stay tuned here at PokerNews for all the action tomorrow.
