After three days of action in the World Poker Tour's Legends of Poker not a single big name, or close to a legend of poker remains in the final 21 players. Jeff Vertes, a player with no live cashes to his name leads the field with a little over 2.7 million chips, with second place sitting at below 2 million.
Notables to make the money, but bust out before the end of Day 3, included Jamie Gold (67th – $7,300), Gavin Smith (57th – $7,710), Allen Cunningham (54th – $8,480), J.C. Tran (39th – $9,250), Dwyte Pilgrim (33rd – $10,280), and Allen “Chainsaw” Kessler (28th – $10,280).
Some of the notables that are still in contention are James Carroll, Will Failla, Shawn Buchanan, 2011 WSOP bracelet winner and $50k Players Championship final table participant Owais Ahmed, Ray Henson. The two shortest stacks belong to Dan Heimiller and last woman standing Christina Lindley.
The Legends of Poker lowered their buy-in from $5,000 to $3,500, but allowed a re-entry if you bust the first day which led to 757 total entrants in entrants. The winner will take down a first place prize of $758,085, slightly greater than Andy Frankenberger's winning prize last year.
