Diary

Day 3 ended with just 45 players left , when they were one off the money it took nearly an hour before the bubble boy was busted , that honour went to Danny Dang , he was all in from FP with JJ , all passed to the BB who called with QJo , flop was Q 8 3 5 8 making 100 players very happy , the next hour 37 people busted out , the money didn't go up till 50 , then it increased to $37,000 , once they lose another 5 tomorrow it will go to the next level $47,000 .

They will play down to 27 tomorrow , then on Saturday down to the final 6 .

The Europeans still left in from yesterdays list are

Dave Colclough 231k

Peter Costa 366k

Paul Testud 409k

Paul Maxfield 430k

Joe Beevers 565k

Rob Hollink 571k

Earlier today Mads Andersen who started with 270,000 got it all in against Greg Raymer the WSOP Champion with QQ on a 8 T J flop Greg had 99 and hit a 7 for the straight .

Barny Boatman raised 96,000 all in after David Chui opened for 12,000 only to run into Peter Costas KK , Barny had KQs

Dave Colclough was in the blinds with Q6o , he checked a flop of 2 6 7 6 then called a 100,000 bet when a T fell on the river , his opponnent had limped in with A6o !

The same player busted Surinder Sunar , on a flop 7 high with three diamonds , Surinder moved all in for $229,000 with two black Aces , John Smith called with 99 and when the Q of diamonds turned made a flush and was up to 2,000,000 in chips , he ended the day with 1,600,000 .

Alan Goering the first winner of this event took his AQ up against KK and rivered an A

Joe Beevers survived to the money but dropped to only 60,000 then as players dropped quickly he found some form , when a player showed weakness and just called the BB joe raised and took the pot , next time round the same player raised on the button , this time Joe in the SB moved in for 200,000 with JJ , Johan Storakers thinking his hand was good and Joe was making a move reraised all in with AQ , the button passed his A9 , Joes JJ stood up and he doubled up , he told me if the A9 had called he would have made a straight , the very next round Johan moved in from FP and all passed to Joe in the BB , this time he had QQ , he ended the day above average with 565,000 .

There are at least 4 players with a 1,000,000 including Phil Ivey who when everyone was trying to secure the $30,000 stole the blinds relentlessly and trebled his stack .

Tomorrow is no longer about survivig , it is about who really wants to win this and is prepared to use there chips while others are content to move up the rungs of the payscale .

Lets hope one of the Europeans makes a run and has a real chance of making the final and a shot at the $2,800,000
