Day 3 of the €1,350 Mini Main Event kicks off at 2 p.m. today with 29 players returning from the 1,286 entries, with the intention of playing down to the final table.

It is Italy's Candido Cappiello who leads the pack with a stack of 12,665,000 but is closely followed by Iman Ghashayar of the Netherlands with 10,780,000 chips.

Thomas Eychenne maneuvered his way into a podium position heading into Day 3 and brings through a whopping 9,175,000 to work with. With over $2,000,000 in lifetime earnings it's surprising to see that a WSOP final table or bracelet still eludes the French player. Eychenne will be looking to add one, if not both of those to his already impressive resume, and he definitely has the skills and chip stack to make them happen.

Day 1 chip leader Xiaohua Yang sits in fourth (8,380,000) with Event #4: €2,000 Pot Limit Omaha's fourth-place finisher Alen Sabic (7,650,000) just behind him in fifth. The only bracelet winner left in the field is Stephen Nahm (4,325,000), who currently resides in the twelfth position.

Some of the middling stacks to take their seats at baize today include: Florian Duta (4,140,000), Andreas Krause (4,000,000), Claudio Di Giacomo (3,460,000), Ivan Banic (3,080,000) and Catalin Diac (2,540,000). Bringing up the rear as the short stacks are Luigi Pignataro (1,810,000), Sebastien Lucina (1,480,000), and Metodi Peychev (1,245,000)

The remaining players have all locked up €6,585 thus far, but all will have their eyes set on the €213,350 first-place prize that awaits the winner. There will be an important mini-bubble to deal with when 15 remain, as the top 14 spots will all be given a 2024 WSOP Europe Main Event seat. This means the difference in payout between finishing fifteenth and fourteenth is more than double.
