Nick Petrangelo Leads the Way into Day 3 of $100,000 High Roller
Welcome to PokerNews' Day 3 coverage of Event #5: $100,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller. The starting field of 105 entries is down to just 10 players, each looking to capture the first-place prize of $2,910,227 and a coveted World Series of Poker bracelet.
Nick Petrangelo begins Day 3 in pole position thanks in large part to being on the right side of a cooler late on Day 2. Just after the money was reached, Petrangelo scored a double elimination and vaulted to the top of chip counts. Second in chips is Elio Fox, fresh off winning his second WSOP bracelet just three days ago. Superstars Stephen Chidwick, Jason Koon, and Fedor Holz round out the top five remaining stacks.
Here are the Day 3 seating assignments:
| Table | Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | Jason Koon | United States | 6,190,000 |
| 1 | 3 | Chris Moore | United States | 2,960,000 |
| 1 | 4 | Andreas Eiler | Germany | 2,130,000 |
| 1 | 6 | Elio Fox | United States | 10,180,000 |
| 1 | 8 | Adrian Mateos | Spain | 2,250,000 |
| 2 | 3 | Bryn Kenney | United States | 1,600,000 |
| 2 | 5 | Stephen Chidwick | United Kingdom | 7,065,000 |
| 2 | 6 | Aymon Hata | United Kingdom | 3,140,000 |
| 2 | 7 | Nick Petrangelo | United States | 13,460,000 |
| 2 | 8 | Fedor Holz | Germany | 3,530,000 |
The remaining field is absolutely stacked. Five bracelet winners remain, and some of poker's biggest names that have yet to capture that elusive first bracelet are also still in the hunt. After one elimination, the field will condense down to one table. The plan for the day is to play down to the final six players, although that is subject to change.
