Day 3 of the Bay 101 Shooting Star Classic was a tale in two parts. With the switch to six-handed tables at the start of play Thursday, 36 players were slashed to just 10 in a matter of five hours. They played 45 minutes without an elimination going into the dinner break, but within the […]

Jakub Mroczek has the chiplead after Day 3 of the EPT London Main Event, and it’s a case of good news/bad news; Mroczek has a lead of more than an average stack going into Day 4, but he also has to deal with a seriously talented final 36. Five EPT champions remain in the hunt, […]
