Day Three Recap

Play has ended for the day and there are 337 players remaining. They are supposed to play 6 full levels tomorrow so it could be a long day for everyone remaining. There are 11 women left representing 3% of the field. Mimi Tran, pro and protégé of Barry Greenstein, is still in with 144K in chips. The chip leader at the end of Day 3 is Dario Minieri with 2.398 million in chips. Eleven players have crossed the 1million in chips including Gus Hansen. Still in the running is the “guy who says stacking chips is better sex”. I guess his last few days have been quite “satisfying”. Ya gotta wonder if after he wins a pot, he lights up a cigarette and turns to the loser and asks, “Was it good for you?” J

Former WSOP Main Event Winners still in the fray are Huck Seed, Robert Varkonyi, Scotty Nguyen and Carlos Mortenson. Chris Ferguson bit the big one yesterday and is out.

Spiderman is still in but evidently is trying to stay low profile. It is reported that he has asked some reporters not to photograph him and left the table when one reporter stopped by to interview him and the lead singer of God Smack.

Other notables hanging in there and advancing to day 4 include Lee Watkinson, Julian Gardner, Chad Brown, Humberto Brenes and Hasan Habib.

Sam Simon, Emmy winning TV producer who is credited with “Developing” The Simpsons is still in as is a player named Steve Austin, who sadly does not have 6 million in chips.
