One of the biggest bubbles of the summer looms for the final 22 players in the World Series of Poker $50,000 Poker Players Championship. Only 14 will make the money, ensuring a payout of at least $99,388. The other eight players will take home nothing but a loss of their initial buy-in.
Day 3 of the event began with 55 players and saw the field steadily shrink under the weight of the mounting blinds and antes. Notables such as John Juanda, Phil Ivey, Eli Elezra, Bertrand Grospellier and Doyle Brunson failed to advance.
However, some players put themselves into great position heading into the money bubble, such as overnight chip leader Abe Mosseri, who bagged up 1,727,000. He is followed by Brandon Shack-Harris, who is enjoying a breakout summer after finishing first, second and third in various mixed games events at this year’s series.
Other notables still remaining include Matt Glantz, Robert Mizrachi, Scott Seiver, Jonathan Duhamel, Todd Brunson, Jason Mercier and the only female remaining, Melissa Burr, who is gunning for her third final table of the summer.
Play will resume Wednesday at 2 p.m. local time with the hope of playing down to the final table.
