Aaron Katz Leads to Begin Day 3 of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship
Welcome to Day 3 coverage of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.
The starting field of 100 players is down to just 44, with each looking to capture the first-place prize of $1,395,767, the World Series of Poker bracelet, and the prestige of winning one of the premier events in the poker world.
Aaron Katz is in pole position to begin the day, leading the field with 1,642,000. Katz was second in chips entering Day 2 and rode a rush in the middle of the day to cross the million-chip mark. He continued to add to his stack in the final level on Monday, en route to his bagging the chip lead. Rounding out the five chip counts are Talal Shakerchi (1,480,500), two-time PPC champion Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi (1,087,000), Elior Sion (1,033,500), and Andrey Zaichenko (962,000).
A plethora of big names remain, and it would do a disservice to only list a few of them. Below find the complete Day 3 table and seat draw — scroll down and see the many notables still in the hunt:
