The day started with 182 out of 592 entries left in the tournament. The money would be reached at 87 players left and they started the day fast paced.
It took a little more than three levels to reach the money. Players that didn’t manage to make it include Unibet Poker Ambassador Rauno “Estonian Jesus” Tahvonen, Deddi Orpaz, Gerret van Lancker, Alex Hendriks, Unibet Poker Ambassador and esports superstar Alan “Hotted89” Widmann, and Unibet Poker Ambassador Dara O’Kearney.
Andrei Alecu ended up as the unfortunate bubble boy after he pushed all in with his pocket pair of jacks and he ran into the pocket queens of Elisei, who made Day 3 second in chips.
Once they were in the money, it was time to say goodbye to players like Unibet Poker Ambassador Fredrik Bergmann (80th - €1,860).
After Bergmann busted out it was all up to Lappin to represent the Unibet Poker Ambassadors and he ended up making it to Day 3. Gareth James (75th - €2,070), Day 1b chip leader Aleksi Himanen (65th - €2,300), Day 1c chip leader Anton Markov (43rd - €3,140), and two-time Unibet Open Main Event champion Mateusz Moolhuizen (35th - €3,480) all fell short of making Day 3.
Another player that managed to make the money was Dutchman Noud van Dijk. Van Dijk qualified for the Main Event for just €0,10. He ended up running his initial buy-in up to a €4 ticket, a €25 ticket, a €250 ticket, and eventually a €2,000 package for the Unibet Open Bucharest Main Event. Van Dijk ended up in 53rd place, banking €2,830 which would be a whopping 28,300 times his initial investment.
The 17 remaining players will return on Sunday, August 5, at 12 p.m. local time. The live stream will start at 12:30 p.m. with a 30-minute security delay because it will be streamed with hole cards. PokerNews will provide updates until a winner is crowned of the 2018 Unibet Open Bucharest Main Event.
