Wsop Event 29 Day 3

Sunday June 19, 2011 : If your from the USA and looking to play online poker please check out Betonline.

Event 29: $2,500 10-Game Mix is proving to be a tough endurance competition, with only 3 players remaining in the wee small hours of Sunday on the third day of the event.
 
Chris Lee had a comfortable lead over Travis Pearson and Brian Haveson as play in level 28 continued into the early morning hours after Saturday saw 19 survivors from an original field of 431 return to the tables.
 
At that point the field still contained names like Jason Stern, David Benefield, Tad Jurgens, Roland Isra, Daniel Makowsky, John D'Agostino, Matt Vengrin, and Brian Powell, but all were destined to bust out during the course of a tough day of poker.
 
The final nine players were reached Saturday night when Josh Weiland was eliminated at position ten after three disastrous consecutive clashes with Pearson, then Deeb and finally Chris Lee.
 
Kevin Chance, Don McNamara, John D'Agostino, Kendall Fukumoto, Chris Lee, Joshua Evans, Travis Peterson, Brian Haveson and Shaun Deeb entered final table play with aggression and it was not long before more eliminations occurred, eventually leaving the three survivors still battling for supremacy early on Sunday morning.
