World Series of Poker - Main Event - Day 3

With Day 2c of the 2013 World Series of Poker main event now in the books, the remaining 1,743 players will combine into a single field on Day 3, which will get underway at 12 pm local time on Thursday afternoon.

6,352 players entered the 2013 World Series of Poker main event, making it the 8th largest field in the history of the event. 4,609 players, including the likes of Daniel Negreanu and Tom "durrrr" Dwan, have been eliminated from the event after the first two full days of play.

1,743 players are still looking to get their share of a $59,708,800 prize pool that will pay out $8,359,531 to the eventual winner. There is still a fair bit of work to do until the tournament reaches the money, however, as the top 648 spots will pay out a minimum of $19,106.
