Gollins was more than happy with her play on Monday and said she minimized her risks in order to amass her massive stack.
“I think I played pretty well. I didn’t really have to win flips today because I played out most of my hands. I tried not to flip, actually. I waited for spots, I was super patient all day, and I took advantage when I saw the opportunity.”
Notables who will be advancing include WSOP bracelet winner Joon Kim (7,575,000), Mateusz Moolhuizen (2,675,000), and Lily Kiletto (525,000).
A bunch of big names who were hoping to add to their respective legacies were eliminated on Day 3, including Francis Anderson, David Williams, Chris Moneymaker, Joao Simao, Andrew Moreno, Blair Hinkle, and Anson Tsang.
