Mit vier verbliebenen Spielern ging der dritte Spieltag beim $1.000 Seniors Event der diesjährigen World Series of Poker (WSOP) zu Ende. Dennis Phillips, einer der ersten November Niner im Jahr 2008, geht als Chipleader in den Finaltag.
Mit 32 verbliebenen Spielern war man in den Tag gestartet, Dennis Philipps und Hoyt Corkins lagen in den Top 10. Nachdem das Tempo am ersten Spieltag rasant war, wurde das Spiel schon an Tag 2 langsamer und auch an Tag 3 ging es eher gemütlich zur Sache. Zunächst lichteten sich die Reihen noch recht schnell und der Final Table war rasch gefunden.
Stuart Spear war der Chipleader, Dennis Philips der Shortstack. Als erster musste Harold Lilie den Final Table verlassen, als er mit Queens den Flip gegen 
von William Stabler verlor. Dennis Philipps dagegen konnte mit 
und zwei Paar am Board gegen die Kings von Martin Fitzmaurice verdoppeln und so einen großen Sprung nach vorne machen. Martin Fitzmaurice musste als nächster gehen.
Mit sieben Spielern begann ein Stellungskrieg und es sollte ein wenig dauern, bis mit William Thomson der nächste Spieler ging. Er setzte auf 
und hatte das Nachsehen gegen die Pocket 9s von Dennis Phillips.
Neben Dennis Phillips kam auch Hoyt Corkins immer weiter nach vorne. Er verdoppelte mit Aces gegen die Kings von Bob Phelps. Allyn Shulman sorgte für den nächsten Seat open, als sie mit 
Shortstack Stuart Spear nach Hause schickte. Auch William Stabler scheiterte an der letzten Lady, als er mit Pocket 10s gegen ihr verlor.
Damit waren es noch vier Spieler und bis zum Ende von Level 31 sollten es auch nicht mehr weniger werden. Dennis Phillips geht nun als Chipleader in den vierten Tag. Ob es aber vielleicht das erste Bracelet für eine Lady bei der diesjährigen WSOP gibt, entscheidet sich morgen.
