Welcome to Day 3 of €10,350 Main Event NLH European Championship here at the 2024 World Series of Poker Europe, where action gets underway at noon local time.

Out of a field of 768 competitors, only 185 return to the felt today to continue battling it out in the hopes of taking home the €1,300,000 top prize, and becoming the next WSOP Europe Main Event champion. Leading the way is Germany's Sirzat Hissou, who has amassed a stack of 1,353,000. Hissou surged to the top of the chip counts after the two initial flights, entering yesterday as the chip leader. He solidified his position at the top and now starts again today with the largest remaining stack.
