WSOP ME Daily Dose: 11 July

By Hugo Martin

11 July 2008

Day 3 is Done and Dusted. Who's still in and Who has Busted?

Day 3 of the Main Event is done and dusted and we’re just four days away from finding out who the November Nine are. So who’s left and who’s busted?

By his standards Phil Hellmuth hasn’t has a great Series, but he’s finished Day 3 with a very respectable 490,000 chips giving himself a real chance. Could bracelet #12 be his second Main event bracelet? The other former ME winner left in the tournament is Johnny Chan who also has decent chips with 365,000. If he ends up winning it would be bracelet #11. Even more impressive would be the fact that it would be his third time to be World Champ – only the legendary Stuey Ungar has managed that in the annals of the WSOP (in my book Johnny Moss doesn’t count as the first time he won it was by vote).

Chip leader after Day 3 is Jeremy Joseph with 1,470,000. Other notables still in are Dag Martin Mikklesen (930,000), Jeff “JaffaCake” Kimber (665,000), Shawn Sheikhan (662,000), Matt Matros (630,000), Victor Ramdin (512,000), Hoyt Corkins (467,000), Mike Matusow (465,000), Mark Vos (400,000) Jon “Pearljammer” Turner (387,000), Jeff Madsen (335,000), Gus Hansen (330,000), Carmel Petresco (313,000), Evelyn Ng (305,000), Allen Cunningham (265,000), Bill “Miros” Purle (264,500), Jean-Robert Bellande (261,000), Kara Scott (230,000), Kido Pham (220,000), Robert Mizrachi (218,000), Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier (215,000), Hevad Khan (186,000), Dave Colclough (160,000), Keith “The Camel” Hawkins (148,500), Kirill Gerasimov (146,500), Ben Roberts (140,000) and John Duthie (64,000).
