Day 3 of the partypoker LIVE Grand Prix €115 Main Event at the Montesino Casino starts today at 1 pm local time. 24 out of 278 players that started on yesterday will return to play. The 11 players that survived Day 2b in CCC Simmering and the 8 players that survived the Day 2 online will be added to the mix in the hunt for the Main Event Trophy.
Vladimir Burstein from the Czech Republic is leading the 41-player strong field with 19,925,000 chips. Having played on Day 2b in Simmering, he will be looking to see if his strong start will also get him to the finish line today. Burstein's biggest cash took place this summer in Las Vegas when he cashed $13,861 in the Crazy Eights tournament.
Second in the chip counts is Rolando Lombardi from Italy with 11,575,000 chips which is about 33 big blinds less than Burstein. Closing out the top three chip counts is Rene Wolech with 10,875,000 chips. He had a good day at the Montesino Casino yesterday and will do his utter best to continue his deep run.
Zoran Spindler is the player with the shortest stack with only ten big blinds. His highest cash up till now is €1,200 in Simmering in 2015. He will be aiming to improve that today. Other players to keep an eye on are Harald Heigl (10,775,000), Gabor Deak (10,380,000), Mirek Spicka (10,325,000), Pavel Chalupka (6,105,000), Anthony Ghamrawi (5,125,000) and Alain Raoul Medesan (2,975,000).
The blinds will begin at 125,000/250,000 with a button ante of 250,000 and they will continue playing until a winner has been crowned. The levels will be 60 minutes long until they reach heads-up play where the blind levels will decrease to 30 minutes.
