Welcome to Day 3 of Event #58: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, host of the 2017 World Series of Poker.
Day 2 saw 269 players reduced to a field of 28 after 10.5 levels which was just one short of the final three tables.
Peter Coulombe is the chip leader with 1,443,000 while Taylor Paur is in second place on 927,000 and Asi Moshein third with 886,000.
There will be a full redraw once the first player of the day has been eliminated and three tables remain, and then a final redraw once the unofficial final table of 10 has been reached.
The next player out will receive $10,034 but the ultimate goal will be the winner’s gold bracelet and the first-place prize of $395,918
Cards are in the air at 12 p.m. today and PokerNews will have all of the live updates and hand-for-hand play from the final table.
