Some of the best players entered the SCOOP 115-H: $10,300 Main Event and that field of 534 players has been whittled down to just 40 and they include PokerStars Ambassador Ramon Colillas.
Despite starting yesterday as the chip leader in the SCOOP 115-M Main Event, he fell in a respectable 306th place and was able to pivot and focus his attention on the big one. He's the only PokerStars Ambassador flying the flag ahead of Day 3, which begins at 17:30 WET and plays down to a final table of nine.

Leading the survivors is Juan Carlos "B4NKR0LL3R" Vecino who is the only player with an eight-figure stack. He emerged as chip leader midway through the day and held on as the bubble burst and the Day 3 field was set. He tops a field filled with talent that includes the likes of Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo and Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen.

Hand and Grafton Just Miss Out
Just 63 players were guaranteed a min-cash of $23,783, with one unlucky poker player leaving empty-handed.
It appeared that the unlucky player was Espen "Hymn2Ninkasi" Jorstad, who got his last chips in with A?3? against the K?Q? of Tauan "kylix42" Naves. The flop 10?5?4? gave Naves a flush draw. The turn was the 6? but the river 8? completed Naves' flush draw sending Jorstad to the rail. However, at another table , Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski had been eliminated, meaning that Jorstad was, in fact, the recipient of a min-cash.
Two PokerStars Ambassadors finished in the money with Sam "SamSquid" Grafton busting in 57th for $23,783, and Fintan "easywithaces" Hand narrowly missing out on making the final 40, finishing in 44th place for $29,803.
