European Poker Tour Vilamoura, Day 3: Down to 24
20 November 2009, 5:00 pm





Day 3 of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Vilamoura has come and gone in a flash with two-thirds of the remaining field eliminated in less than four levels. Just after noon local time, the final 69 players sat down at the table for the push toward the money. After a short six-hour stint on the felt, only 24 survived to bag their chips for tomorrow’s penultimate day.

The players leapt off the starting line at a blistering pace. Despite an hour-long slump during which only four players were eliminated, the bubble had already been burst by the time the second level was half over. When a three-outer sent Luis Rodriguez to the rail in 50th place, hand-for-hand play was announced. It lasted just one hand, and in that one hand, four players were all-in on four separate tables. The pre-bubble bust-outs included a number of recognizable names such as Andy Black, Steven van Zadelhoff, Rolf Slotboom, and Team PokerStars Pros Nuno Coelho and Alexander Kravchenko.
