Day 3 saw 327 players return to their seats as around 1/8th of the starting players bagged to continue to Day 4. The high-profile casualties kept coming at a rather rapid pace such as Winamax Team Pro’s Mustapha Kanit, Last years WSOP Main Event Champion Espen Jorstad, and prior WSOP Main Event Winner Martin Jacobson.

Day 4 of the record-breaking Event #53: #1,500 Millionaire Maker will continue at 10 a.m. local time Tuesday and the PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor to provide all the key hands as they play down to 5 players for the final day.
