The bubble was the theme of the third day of the EPT Monte Carlo. 124 players started the day and it seemed like it was not meant to go below 81 for a long time: the bubble took 2h30 to burst.
The chipleader is now Antonio Esfandiari. He had an awesome day, surged ahead and is now with a huge stack of nearly 1,200,000. Johnny Lodden, aka bad_ip / lars-magne continues to be the only guy to stay on top since day one, he is in the 4th place with 623,000. Another great online player who is doing well is Isaac Baron, aka westmenloAA, he is going to start day 4 with 236,500. Luca Pagano and his father Claudio Pagano, Michael "Martine23" Martin and Freddy Deeb are other players who survived day 3. Sorel Mizzi aka Zangbezan24 / imper1um was eliminated and finished 55th for a € 29,400 prize.
Sadly for us MezmerizePLZ, aka Clayton Maguire, was eliminated today. He finished 63rd and got himself a prize of € 25,200. Looking on the brighter side of the story, our other representative of LiquidPoker Peachy / n0rthface, aka Eric Liu, is still alive and strong on the tournament. He finished day 3 with 398,000, 12th largest stack, and will be in one of the five tables this Wednesday fighting for a place in the last 8. Good Luck Peachy!
