It took the remaining field of 18 players almost seven hours to reach the final table on day 3 and there were some big names who fell along the way, including Todd Terry, Scott Montgomery, and Daniel Negreanu. Kid Poker fell when his pocket tens lost to the A
9 of West when he made a flush on the turn. An even worse fate fell to the money bubble boy Kyle Bowker.
Bowker was all in for his tournament life preflop with pocket nines against the pocket aces of Dana Kellstrom. The board rolled out 9 6

A and Bowker had his hopes raised and then crushed on his final hand. Three players made the money today but they did not advance to the larger riches at the final table.
