Day 3 of Card Player Poker Tour's 2017 CPPT World Cup of Cards gets underway at 2:30 p.m. local time inside Playground Poker Club this afternoon. When cards hit the felt, just eight players will get dealt a hand, all eyeing the $98,000 top prize.

Luc Bellerive starts with the chip lead. Bellerive built a stack of 1,698,000 by the time the clock was paused on Day 2. Tam Ho has also crossed the million-chip mark wielding a stack of 1,327,000. Both players are miles ahead of their competition, accumulating almost 60% of the chips in play.

Here is how the eight finalists stack up:

5Robert Laberge692,000
6Jonathan Marrie283,000
7Stuart Taylor800,000
8Tam Ho1,327,000

Bellerive is already guaranteed his largest live-recorded tournament cash ever. Sitting at just under $7,000 in career tournament earnings, Bellerive's Hendon Mob page is sure to get a huge boost however the day progresses.

The most dangerous member of the table is surely Sam Chartier. Chartier is a world-class player with almost $3,000,000 in tournament earnings alone. Chartier is also a high stakes cash game player and won't be shy about putting himself at risk to better his position at the table.

There is still lots of money up for grabs. Here's a look at the prizes available for the final eight:

Day 3 will kick off at Level 24 with a 12,000 small blind and 24,000 big blind. The ante will start at 4,000 and play will continue with one-hour levels until they reach heads-up.
