Bay 101 Shooting Star -- Day 3The Final Table is Set and Begins Tomorrow at 4 p.m. |
|
Day 3 at the 2009 Bay 101 Shooting Star $10,000 no-limit hold'em championship event began with 36 players. The tables were seated six-handed to start the day, which made for a lot of action. Levels were increased to two hours in length to ensure that the remaining players could play deep-stack poker, as well. The need for speed took over at the start of the day as a flurry of players busted during the first two levels of the day. By the third level of the day, players settled in after the chaos and began to play some measured poker in an attempt to make the final table. Things didn't wrap up until just after midnight, when the final table of six was reached. All of the information you need to know about day 3 at the 2009 Bay 101 Shooting Star is included below.
