Day 3 Awaits
Welcome to PokerNews' Day 3 coverage of Event #1, the $500 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold'em tournament. The starting field of 850 is down to just four hopefuls looking to capture a coveted WSOP gold bracelet. The event had been scheduled to conclude last night. However, 10 levels were not enough to determine a winner so a third day will be needed to award the bracelet.
The chip counts heading into the day are as follows:
| Player | Chips |
|---|---|
| Sean Drake | 1,058,000 |
| Jason Baker | 727,000 |
| Claudio Falcaro | 420,000 |
| Christopher Perez | 347,000 |
Sean Drake holds the lead, but former chip leader Jason Baker is within striking distance. Don't count out Claudio Falcaro or Christopher Perez either, as both have played marvelous short-stack poker to keep their bracelet hopes alive.
Play will resume at 3:00pm local time, about one hour from now, so be sure to keep it here at PokerNews for all of the action!
