GPI #WSOP14 Daily | Day 3

We are in the money is the 25K Mixed Max event as big names fall late in the day … the Casino Employees event goes into overtime … 1K NLH madness all coming up on a crazy Day 3 …

FOUR-MAX ACTION ON THE WAY

Vanessa Selbst (GPI#4) remains very much in contention as she is one of four players to bring a million dollar chip stack to the final table. Recent November Niner JC Tran (GPI#177) is also one of those four players.

The story of the night may have been the eliminations of big-name pros Phil Ivey, Eugene Katchalov, Phil Hellmuth and John Juanda, amongst others, as each failed to earn their first cash at the 45th WSOP.

EVENT #2 – 25K MIXED TOP 5 CHIP COUNTS:
Al Decarolis 1,261,000
JC Tran 1,251,000
Vanessa Selbst 1,224,000
Jason Mo 1,214,000
Calvin Anderson 812,000

CASINO EMPLOYEES WORKING OVERTIME

Two casino employees will have to call in sick to work today as our first event of 2014 is headed to overtime. Best of luck to Roland Reparejo and Corey Emery – one of which will be awarded the first bracelet at the 45th WSOP later today!

EVENT #1 – CASINO EMPLOYEES HEADS UP CHIP COUNTS:
Roland Reparejo 1,795,000
