Event 3: Get Out the Vote

$300 + $50 Limit Hold'em

Calandrino Collecting Chips

The Limit tournament was originally scheduled to be a two day event, but with 20 players left the floor person put the possibility of change to a vote. The field decided unanimously that it would rather finish tonight, rather than stop with 18 players remaining and return Friday afternoon.

Since the dinner break, a new chip leader has emerged as Joe Calandrino (Oakdale, NY) is up to 80k, while two of the big stacks have taken a hit. Jason Young (Suffern, NY) is on the rail, and former chip leader Norman Whiteley (Newark, DE) has gone from 62k to 11k.

The top 9 players finish in the money and are guaranteed a minimum of $594.
