Third Bracelet to be Awarded Today in $2,500 Limit Hold'em Championship

Day 2 of Event #3: $2,500 Limit Hold'em Championship gets underway at 1 p.m. eastern time, and before the end of the day, the third bracelet in the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events. Day 1 played out on August 3rd, and after three and a half hours of late registration, they ended up with 180 total entries and a prize pool of $427,500.

They were not able to play the full 32 scheduled levels on Day 1, as action played down to just nine players remaining during Level 25. The final table was always one of the end conditions for Day 1, though the base plan was to play 32 levels and bag up the remaining players, but it only took about seven hours to get down to a single table.

The leader going into Day 2 is Nicolo Molinelli with 1,850,925. That is more than 300,000 more than second place stack Joao Vieira while only four of the nine returning players will unbag more than 1 million chips.

Final Table Stacks

Place	Player	Country	Chips
1	Nicolo Molinelli	Malta	1,850,925
2	Joao Vieira	Portugal	1,550,900
3	Vince Cavailles	Ireland	1,399,800
4	Alex "Pl3ase_MuCk" Fortin-Demers	Canada	1,106,375
5	Stanislav "Stas Kuvaev" Kuvaev	Russia	980,525
6	Milos "Picasso98" Petakovic	Montenegro	737,525
7	Renan Bruschi	Brazil	686,800
8	Romain "Flingue" Dours	France	568,000
9	Mark Radoja	Canada	170,000

While they played 25 levels on Day 1, action on Day 2 will be rolled back to Level 21 to start the day. This is a typical GGPoker feature on the final table of big events, where they reset the blinds to match the average stack of the final table players. That means action today starts with bets of 25,000/50,000, and levels will no longer timed, instead changing after a certain number of hands.

Stay tuned here at PokerNews for all the final table action from Event #3. Everyone returning for Day 2 is guaranteed at least $8,846, but all the players have their sights set on the top prize of more than $88,000 as well as the Championship Gold Bracelet in online Limit Hold'em.
