Blinds: 1.5k/3k/300 ante

Play is back underway for the big $560 buy-in $50,000 guaranteed Event 3 of the 2014 Coco Poker Open. The tournament drew 113 entrants to push the prize pool to $56,500 with the winner set to earn $18,644 and the trophy.

Of those 113, only 28 players were around at the end of the two starting flights with only 12 of them getting a piece of the money. Larry Klur leads the way with 263,400 and the average stack is just over 33 big blinds at the start of the final day. A few players are short but none are beneath the dreaded 10 big blind zone.
