croll103 Leads World Series of Poker Main Event After Day 3

Just over 1,200 players remain in the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event and members of the online poker community continue to impress. James croll103Carroll is the top stack in the room entering Day 4 on Tuesday with a pile of 803,000, the only player to pass the 750,000 mark. The Henderson, Nevada native is on the brink of entering the Online Poker Rankings and owns over $1 million in tournaments tracked by PocketFives.com.

Jason JCarverSomerville (pictured), who made the final table of the $25,000 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max event, shoved all-in on a board of J-5-2-4 with two spades. He flipped over 5-3 of spades for flush and straight draws and was up against an all-in player with top pair, top kicker. The river was a spade, filling Somerville’s flush and pushing his stack towards 400,000. He ended the day with 400,500, the 89th largest tally in the Amazon Room.

2009 WSOP Main Event champ and PokerStarspro Joe jcada99Cada (pictured) was all-in pre-flop with A-Q, including the queen of spades, and up against pocket tens. The flop came all spades, giving Cada a flush draw in addition to two overcards, but the seven of clubs on the turn was no help. Down to one last card and rooting for a spade, ace, or queen, Cada and the gathered ESPN cameras watched as the six of clubs hit, ending his Main Event title defense.

Also coming out on the short end of a race for all of his chips was Jon apestylesVan Fleet (pictured), who fell with A-K suited against pocket sixes. His opponent hit a six on the flop and Van Fleet was drawing dead to the river. Joining him on the sidelines was Jared TheWacoKiddHamby, whose A-K could not draw out on Steve MrSmokey1Billirakis’ pocket jacks. The board ran out 10-10-9-8-6 and Hamby headed for the exit. Billirakis, meanwhile, is up to 318,400 in chips and sits at 184th on the leaderboard.

Josh brikdog24Brikis doubled up at the expense of 10-time bracelet winner Johnny Chan after flopping a set of sevens. All of the money went in on the river and Brikis shot up the leaderboard. In fact, after three days of play, he owns a top 10 stack at 616,900. Brikis is in search of his fifth cash at this year’s WSOP; he made the final table of a $1,500 No Limit Hold’em event.
