WSOP* $10,000 Main Event - Day 3 Over

Day 3 has come to an end. Players broke the money bubble late in level 4 and the bustout bonanza began soon afterward. There are 474 players returning for Day 4. Jeremiah Smith was the big story in Day 3 as he was the first to break the 1 million mark and led for most of the day. He lost the chip lead late in the day to Jeremy Joseph, but only 150,000 seperates them. Tune in Friday for all the live updates from Day 4 of the 2008 WSOP* main event.
