Good Night from Monte Carlo

It took exactly 12 hours to weed the field down to 39 from 124, but we finally made it. An eventful Day 3 was filled with double-ups, knockouts, a two-and-a-half-hour bubble and a fisticuffs match that almost was. Antonio Esfandiari is your unofficial Day 3 chip leader; we'll post the official counts as soon as they are made available to us.

Play will resume tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 p.m. local time, when the remaining 39 players will begin the final stretch in their race to the final table. Until then, bonsoir et bonne chance (good night and good luck)!
