The record-breaking 2023 WSOP Europe €10,350 Main Event is one step closer to crowning a champion in Europe's biggest poker arena at the King's Resort in Rozvadov. Day 3 saw new hopes arise, dreams getting shattered and a portion of the massive €7,761,500 prize pool distributed after the money bubble had burst. There were 191 contenders to begin with but only a fraction of them remained after an action-filled day.
Once the cash prizes for the top 123 finishers were secured, the eliminations came at a rapid pace and a topsy-turvy day lasted until the early morning hours. Upon completion of seven and a half levels of 90 minutes each, only 35 hopefuls remained out of a field of 817 entries - even fewer than one year ago when 42 players bagged up chips despite attracting a smaller field of 763 total entries.
Leading the way is Bulgaria's Yulian Bogdanov with 6,200,000 with his nearest followers Ruslan Volkov (5,595,000) and Jacob Amsellem (5,550,000) separated by a single big blind only. Fourth in chips is Dario Sammartino with 4,975,000, who once again chases the elusive WSOP gold bracelet after numerous close calls throughout the last few years. Michael Rocco also retained his chances of finishing one spot higher than his runner-up finish in Event #8: €25,000 NLH GGMillion€, as he advanced with 3,395,000 in chips.
Top 10 Chip Counts After Day 3
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yulian Bogdanov | Bulgaria | 6,200,000 | 155 |
| 2 | Ruslan Volkov | Ukraine | 5,595,000 | 140 |
| 3 | Jacob Amsellem | France | 5,550,000 | 139 |
| 4 | Dario Sammartino | Italy | 4,975,000 | 124 |
| 5 | Kasparas Klezys | Lithuania | 4,850,000 | 121 |
| 6 | Andrea Radicchi | Italy | 4,280,000 | 107 |
| 7 | Michael Rocco | United States | 3,395,000 | 85 |
| 8 | Alf Martinsson | Sweden | 3,130,000 | 78 |
| 9 | Hyunsup Kim | South Korea | 2,740,000 | 69 |
| 10 | Andrej Cintula | Slovakia | 2,685,000 | 67 |
Defending champion Omar Eljach made a deep run once more and finished in 89th place for €18,000 after numerous tussles with Amsellem. Last year's runner-up Jonathan Pastore (1,600,000) and sixth-place finisher Armin Rezaei (630,000) still have a shot at reaching back-to-back final tables in Rozvadov.
Besides aforementioned Pastore, the only other WSOP champion still in contention is Triple Crown winner Davidi Kitai with 2,575,000 in chips. Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Anson Tsang came agonisingly close to making it through as well only to see his pocket aces getting cracked in the final hand of the night.
Sammartino notched up several pots during the late stages to gain his prime position on the leaderboard. However, the one hand that put him on track was a successful hero-call with ace-king high against start-of-the-day chip leader Keneshka Kabir. From there on, the Italian navigated his big stack without any major troubles until bagging and tagging.
Many other big names of the international poker circuit were in contention for most of the day but saw their fates sealed eventually such as Daniel Dvoress, Manig Loeser, Tobias Peters, Stoyan Madanzhiev, Stephen Chidwick, Alex Keating, and Adrian Mateos.
They all cashed but missed out on a shot at the stunning top prize of €1,500,000, which will be up for grabs on Wednesday, November 15, 2023. The last player to leave empty-handed was China's Weiran Pu, who ran with ace-queen suited into the aces of Keating on the live-stream table.
Vivian Saliba and Maria Lampropulos made valid efforts to become the first woman to win the WSOP Europe Main Event since Annette Obrestad in 2007 before both were sent to the payout desk in the late stages of Day 3.Saliba lost a flip with ace-king against the pocket tens of Eusebiu Jalba to finish in 48th place for €27,100. Lampropulos bowed out just before the final five tables were set when she hero-called at the wrong time against Radicchi to cash for €30,700.
All 35 remaining hopefuls will return to their seats at noon local time on November 14, 2023 when the action picks up with 45 minutes left in level 22. Recommencing blinds will be 20,000-40,000 with a big blind ante of 40,000. The penultimate tournament day day will aim to whittle down the field to the official final table and perhaps even as far as the final six players.
You can follow all of the action right here on PokerNews, the live-stream feature table on the King's Resort Twitch and YouTube channels will also be available with cards-coverage on a 60-minute delay.

Day 3 has ended with 35 players remaining.
Stay tuned for full chip counts and a recap of the day's action.
Livello 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
On the last hand of Day 3, Armin Rezaei got his last 265,000 in the middle from the button and Andrej Desset called in early position.
Armin Rezaei: A♦2♦
Andrej Desset: K♣J♦
Desset took the lead with two pair on the J♥4♣4♦ flop, then improved to kings and jacks on the K♠ turn as Rezaei began getting out of his seat.
The river came the A♣ and Rezaei spiked aces and fours to earn a double up as he sat back down to bag up his chips for Day 4.

The action on table 135 developed a remarkable dynamic in the final stages as a push-or-fold mode emerged with more than 20 big blinds finding their way into the middle without any call.
Borys Rozhanovskyi then check-raised big stack Jacob Amsellem who instantly moved all-in to force out the Ukrainian.
Anson Tsang had been waiting for a spot to get the chips in and did so in the final hand. He raised to 85,000 and then got it in when Rozhanovskyi reraised in the next seat.
Anson Tsang: A♥A♠
Borys Rozhanovskyi: K♣K♦
The K♠6♣6♠ flop saw Tsang all but gasp "no no no" as his huge lead became a mere two outs all of a sudden. Nothing changed on the 5♥ turn and J♥ river to conclude the night in dramatic fashion.

Giuseppe Mazza-Boussemart opted to simply open-shove for 1,215,000 in the cutoff - more than 30 big blinds. Everyone got out of the way including Borys Rozhanovskyi who flashed the K♠Q♣. The Frenchman revealed his 8♦8♥ before raking in the pot.
One table over, the completed board showed 9♥8♣2♥6♣2♣ and Yulian Bogdanov bet 390,000. Andrea Radicchi called and mucked upon getting shown the 6♠6♥.
After that hand, the clock was stopped and the last two hands for the night were drawn.

Lars Kamphues raised to 80,000 as first to act and Dario Sammartino reraised to 190,000 from the next seat over.
The action folded back to Kamphues, and he four-bet jammed for 565,000 chips. Sammartino asked for a count and made the call shortly thereafter, leading to a showdown.
Lars Kamphues: A♣Q♣
Dario Sammartino: 9♥9♦
Kamphues flopped some extra outs on K♣10♠3♠, but he failed to hit any of them on the 3♥10♦ runout. He was eliminated on Day 3 with 15 minutes left on the clock.

Jacob Amsellem raised the button to 80,000 and Martin Guerrero Troianoski defended the big blind.
On a flop of A♣A♠3♠, Guerrero Troianoski checked before calling a bet worth 40,000. They checked the 6♠ turn and some laughter emerged on the table when the A♥ fell on the river.
Guerrero Troianoski checked once more and Amsellem sized up to 250,000 this time. The Spaniard reluctantly paid it off and Amsellem revealed his A♦3♥ for a flopped full house and rivered quads.
