Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino for Day 3 of Event 41: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em! Today is to be the day where we play down to an eventual winner, though, with 30 players still in the hunt - there is still a long ways to go!
Best positioned to bring home the gold bracelet is our Day 2 chipleader Joseph Chaplin - who managed to break the million chip mark and bag up 1,085,000. Right behind Chaplin is the only other player who broke 1 million during Day 2 - Jackie Glazier (1,077,000), who is also our last woman standing in the event.
That being said, there is still plenty of well-known poker talent left in the field who will by trying their best to rise to the top. Also looking to take down the bracelet, and the $742,072 prize that goes with it, are poker pros Scott Montgomery, Jason Koon, Dan Shak, JP Kelly, Shannon Shorr and Fabrice Soulier, who just last year took down the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. event for a cool $609,130 and his first-ever gold bracelet.

So there you have it - will Chaplin ride his chip lead into a win? Will Jackie Glazier become the first woman to win an open World Series of Poker Event this year? (The last woman to accomplish this was Vanessa Selbst - when she took down a Pot-Limit Omaha event in 2008.) Or will victory fall the way of one of the many remaining pros?
Play is set to begin at 1:00 PM PST so please stay tuned right here with us at PokerNews as the action unfolds and we race our way to finding another WSOP champion!
