$5,000 Main Event
Jour 3 terminé
Nick Maimone, Jason Mercier, John Dibella, Cliff Josephy, Gaelle Baumann, Adrian Mateos Diaz, Jaime Staples, Pratyush Buddiga ou encore Ryan Riess ont survécu au Jour 3 du Main Event PokerStars Championship à 5300$ qui se déroulait dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi.
32 joueurs sont encore en lice pour le premier prix de 480,012$ généré par les 738 participants. Les survivants qui disputeront le Jour 4 sont assurés de remporter un minimum de 14,760$. La partie reprendra jeudi à 18 heures, heure française, sur les blindes 6000-12000 (2000) et le premier sortant de la journée ne gagnera pas un centime de plus. Le 31e du tournoi encaissera lui 19 000$.
Ils étaient 125 à débuter le Jour 3 et parmi eux 5 tricolores. Si la joueuse Gaëlle Baumann a franchi l'obstacle avec moins de 10 blindes (108000), les joueurs tricolores ont tous sauté.
Les Français éliminés au Jour 3
35e Valentin Messina FR 14,760$
48e Sylvain Loosli FR 11,560$
85e Arnaud Mattern FR 9,120$
103e Jacques Der Megreditchian FR 9,120$
Les dégâts ont été nombreux lors d'une journée longue de 9 heures. Vainqueur WSOP, Pascal Lefrancois (39e pour 14760$) a chuté lors du dernier niveau de 90 minutes, le Canadien aurait tout aussi bien pu être chipleader du tournoi. Davidi Kitai s'est lui montré patient, comme tout le long du tournoi, et termine 45e pour 14 760$. Même gain pour Barry Greenstein (39e). Mike McDonald (52e), Nenad Medic (54e), Nacho Barbero (58e), Daniel Colman (59e), Allen Kessler (64e) et Chance Kornuth (71e) ont résisté un peu moins longtemps et n'encaissent que 11 560$.
Les Nord-Américains Benjamin Zamani (73e), Shawn Buchanan (76e), Esther Taylor-Brady(86e) et le triple champion NFL Richard Seymour (89e) accrochent une nouvelle place payée et un prix de 9120$. Pas de Top 100 pour l'ancien vainqueur Harrison Gimbel (108e pour 7260$) et pas de deep-run pour Will Failla (118e pour 7260$).
Côté deep-run, il reste du lourd dans les 5% de rescapés. Le chipleader Nick Maimone, qui a 30 ans jeudi et a gagné le High Roller PCA 2016 pour un million de dollar, a remporté un énorme flip contre Pascal Lefrançois et reviendra donc avec 146 blindes. Le Team Pro PokerStars Jason Mercier commencera lui en position de dauphin avec 110 blindes.
Derrière, des vainqueurs prestigieux rêvent d'accrocher la première édition d'un PokerStars Championship à leur tableau de chasse. Vainqueur du PCA 2011 John Dibella complète le podium avec 95 blindes. Ce trio américain devra se méfier du vainqueur du Main Event WSOP 2013 Ryan Riess ou du champion WSOP Europe 2013 et vainqueur de l'EPT Grand Final Adrian Mateos Diaz.
Ancien n°1 du classement GPI, Byron Kaverman peut jouer les trouble-fêtes et le 3e du Main Event WSOP 2016 Cliff Josephy a aussi encore des jetons. De quoi se régaler au Jour 4, une journée à suivre en direct sur PokerNews et en streaming.
4 niveaux de 90 minutes sont au programme.

A relatively small ball pot got really interesting on the river late on Day 3 as Jaime Staples and Scott Stewart did battle.
We joined the action on a flop of , with Staples facing a bet of 45,000. He called. The turn of saw both men check, but on the river, Stewart bet 99,000 - a pretty clear tease that he had the gutshot required to complete the straight.
"I should snap call just for that!" laughed Staples. But was he 'bound' to call?
"Maybe you're just on a different level to me." said Stewart.
Those words gave way to a Staples fold, and Stewart stacked up the newest chips to add to his mountain.
