The Action of the Day
A total of 62 hopefuls had survived the two starting days and returned to collect a min-cash of at least €1,150. Within the first two hours of play, the field of contenders was already cut into more than half. Eldabach dominated the early stages but then lost a huge pot to Zerjav before sending the remaining chips over to his table neighbour from Slovenia shortly after.
Peters was unable to keep the momentum going but he found a late double when short-stacked to retain his chances at a maiden bracelet. Kabrhel will be aiming for his third WSOP gold bracelet at King's Resort, he also has five WSOP Circuit rings to his name as well that he all earned on home soil.
Players from seven different countries will be battling for the top prize of €59,250 and live poker's most coveted hardware. They will be back at 6pm local time to play down to a winner and the PokerNews live reporting team will publish all updates according to the cards-up coverage.
