Worldwide recognized players like the 11 times WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth and the British Model Liv Boeree are chasing the title given in the Main Event which is underway in Cannes France. The bubble burst not too long ago with Jesse Sylvia as bubble boy; nonetheless the player was encouraged by the spectators given he is the “June Nine” Chip Leader for the WSOP final table in the North American Version.
After Sylvia was kicked out the eliminations rate increased dramatically; players like Daniel Negreanu, Eugene Katchalov and Justin Bonomo went home with prizes over €20.000. Some other players managed to build stronger stacks and continue on the quest. The chip leader is the North American Joseph Cheong with a powerful chipstack of 1.381.000 which is almost 300.000 bigger than the one of the current runner-up.
After Day 3 this is the Top 10 ranking of the Main Event
