Day 3 Plan
Day 3 will kick off with blinds at 6,000/12,000 along with a 12,000 big blind ante and increase slowly every hour as was the case throughout the Main Event.
The end of the day will be up to the tournament director's discretion but it is hoped that a final table will be reached before the end of the day. However, the tournament director has been informing the players that this needs to be balanced with Day 3 ending at a reasonable time so players have the ability to be well rested for tomorrow's final day.
