Card Player Poker Tour Venetian: Thomas Paul Leads Final 16 PlayersJon Turner, Erick Lindgren and Jeremy Ausmus Still In The Hunt |
|
A total of 62 players returned to the Las Vegas strip for day 3 of the Card Player Poker Tour Venetian main event. The players in the $5,000 buy-in event started the day just eight spots from the money, which was reached in just two and a half hours.
Even though there were six players sitting with 25 big blinds or less, the bubble boy came from one of the average stacks in the room when Kyle Bowker called off his chips with top pair against the bottom set of Brendon Rubie.
With Bowker on the rail, the remaining 54 players were all in the money and guaranteed at least $11,237. Notables who cashed in the tournament included Ben Palmer (53rd), Kathy Liebert (52nd), Tom Kearney (49th), Jason Wheeler (48th), Joe Elpayaa (47th), Lily Kiletto (43rd), Jeff Madsen (40th), Joey Weissman (39th), Eddy Sabat (36th), Hiren Patel (34th), Chris Oliver (25th) and Chance Kornuth (22nd).
