Day 3 started with 135 players in the hunt for the title, all of them guaranteed at least $20,000 for their effort. The $10,300 tournament had attracted some of the world\u2019s elite poker tournament players and dozens of them busted on Day 3.<\/p>\n

The likes of Manig Loeser<\/strong>, Shannon Shorr<\/strong>, Mike Watson<\/strong>, Steve O\u2019Dwyer<\/strong>, and Ryan Laplante<\/strong> were among the first casualties of the day. They were followed by Thomas Boivin<\/strong>, Benny Glaser<\/strong>, Team partypoker pro Isaac Haxton<\/strong>, and Kahle Burns<\/strong>. Kristen Bicknell<\/strong> ran out of steam and fell in 69th place for $35,000 with teammate Dzmitry Urbanovich<\/strong> crashing out in 60th place for the same prize.<\/p>\n

Several notable grinders fell by the wayside as the curtain started coming down on Day 3 proceedings. A trio of Brits in Matthew Eardley<\/strong>, Brandon Sheils<\/strong> and Ben Heath<\/strong> busted, the latter\u2019s exit concluding the day\u2019s action. Sandwiched between that trio of high profile exits was that of Sweden\u2019s Michael Tureneic<\/strong>; told you the field was stacked!<\/p>\n

The remaining 24 players return to the Baha Mar Resorts casino at 12:00 p.m. ET (18:00 CET) on November 23rd and play continues until a champion is crowned. Geilich is the man to catch courtesy of ending Day 3 with an incredible 116,000,000 chips, 30 million more than his nearest rival Aaron Van Blacrum.<\/p>\n

Sixth or better bests Geilich\u2019s biggest score<\/h2>\n

Geilich needs sixth-place or better to best his previous largest score that weighed in at $313,482. This came back in October 2013 when he finished fourth in the EPT London Main Event. More recently, Geilich won a \u20ac1,100 partypoker MILLIONS Grand Final Barcelona Opener<\/strong> in April 2018 for \u20ac250,000 ($306,421).<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t going to be an easy ride for Geilich because the field is still packed to the brim with talent. Alex Foxen<\/strong> returns with 83,200,000 chips and is definitely a major threat to Geilich chances of glory. As is Andras Nemeth<\/strong>, Chris Hunichen<\/strong> and former WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess<\/strong>, all of whom have enough chips t find themselves in the top 10 of the chip counts.<\/p>\n

Others to look out for include Adrian Mateos<\/strong>, Martin Zamani<\/strong>, Scott Margereson<\/strong>, Peter Jetten<\/strong> and Team partypoker\u2019s Philipp Gruissem<\/strong>. Gruissem started Day 3 second in chips<\/a> but had to battle hard to remain the tournament. The German has 17,700,000 chips at the start of Day 4, enough for 20th place on the leaderboard.<\/p>\n
