Day 3 of World Series of Poker Europe €10,350 Main Event began with 135 players, and by the time play wrapped up after almost exactly 12 hours, the field had been reduced to 46, all of whom are in the money.
Plenty of notables are among those remaining. Start with Kevin MacPhee, the American pro who conquered WSOPE the last time it ran, winning in 2015 in a field of 313 runners in Berlin for €883,000. MacPhee did not come into the day with a ton of chips but built up during the middle stages and wound up with 653,000.
