Welcome to Day 3 of Event #55: $1,500 DraftKings 50/50 No-Limit Hold’em. We are scheduled to get underway in about an hour, and it should be an exciting one! After two full days of poker, Ping Liu (pictured) is leading us into Day 3 with 894,000. Two of the notables still remaining in the field are Matt Affleck (504,000) and Dominik Nitsche (302,000). And the last female standing in the tournament, Tanya Kirk, will be starting today third in chips with 545,000.

Additional information about this innovative structure can be found in the "Structure" tab above.
The 28 remaining players will start the day at their currently assigned tables but will redraw for seats when we get to the final 3 tables (27 players), the final 2 tables (18 players), and then the unofficial final table (10 players).
