Welcome to Day 3 of Wynn Spring Classic $3,500 Championship
Three grueling days of action — two starting flights and one Day 2 that stretched across more than 12 hours — are in the books, and just 34 competitors remain in the Wynn Spring Classic $3,500 Championship. Today, one of them will win $391,370.
The ones who have best positioned themselves for that very handsome payout are Adam Hendrix, Matthias Auer and Ray Qartomy. All three players had banner Day 2s, and they've accumulated about a quarter of the total chips in play between them. Each player has well north of 100 big blinds.
Still, plenty of tough competition remains, so it doesn't figure to be easy. The likes of Jeremy Ausmus, Mihai Manole, Chino Rheem, Jordan Cristos, Ben Palmer, Sean Winter, and Ankush Mandavia are just some of the decorated players remaining in the daunting field.
Everyone is going to have plenty of time to try to build up a tournament-winning stack as action kicks off at noon local time with 10,000/15,000/15,000, with more one-hour levels in store until someone emerges as champ. That figures to take another 13 hours or so, depending on whether a deal is struck.
Stay tuned to PokerNews to see which player scoops the Wynn trophy and joins the list of winners for this event that includes David "Dragon" Pham, Isaac Baron, Eric Baldwin and Ludovic Geilich.
