PTP at WSOP: Main Event Day 3 Recap

With Day 3 in the books here at the 2010 WSOP Main Event 4 PTP members have survived and will be coming back at Noon tomorrow when it is expected that the money bubble will be busted. At the end of the day the players were half way through level 13, which puts the blinds at 1,200/2,400 and antes of 300, costing the player 6,300 per orbit. The average stack is approximately 177k with the chip leader around 800k. The Amazon room can only hold 1,089 players on 121 tables, so the start of day 4 will not have all players in one room to start the day.
