Day 3 With 22 players left the days action narrowed it down to the final table. The action moved pretty fast in

Day 1 and 2 hit a streak of bad luck and went out in 12th position. Anh Van Nguyen who was 6th in chips went out in
15th. But Edward Jordan had a very good day, increasing his chip stack at the expense of Greg Monaldi. Victor Ramdin also
steamrolled over allcomers to make the final table. The last day of play will begin on Sunday April 9th at 1:00 PST.
