Welcome back for Day 3 of Event #5: €10,450 Mixed Max - No-Limit Hold'em

Can anyone stop Brandon Cantu?
Can anyone stop Brandon Cantu?

We've left the confines of the Casino Barriere, Cannes, and returned to the plush surroundings of the Majestic Hotel for the third faze of this exciting unique tournament format.

Day 1 played out 9-handed before that was reduced to 6-max yesterday. Today is all about heads up action. The pressure and excitement that this tournament produces has been building each day, and there is nowhere to hide today!

The plan for today is to play the round of 16 matches and the round of eight matches so we are left with four players who will advance to tomorrow's semi-finals.

Brandon Cantu is a massive favourite coming into today's play as he has more than 25% of the chips in play after an extraordinary day of play yesterday. He won't find it that easy today though as he has to play Phil Hellmuth today; a man who declared war on him yesterday.

Join us back here at 2:00 PM (CET) for the start of the first set of matches.
