Day 3 ends.
All that glittered wasn't Gold as Jamie Gold was eliminated finishing in 35 spot.
Ian Frazer went All-in Pre-flop and revealed a JD-2H while his opponent flashed 10C-10S. Among the cards in the board, a pair of Qs. Frazer is down and out finishing in 34th.
Gus Hansen took a hit after his pair of Ks dropped in value after the turn gave his opponent, Pat Scanlon a Straight.
After the break Jennifer Harman was given the boot by Annette Obrestad.
As the dinner break approached, Gus Hansen was still in the lead with $470,000.
Daniel Negreanu followed Chan and Sorensen to the rail a little bit later.
Johnny Chan was eliminated as well.
Jan Sorensen is sent packing.
One of the more notable eliminations early on happened when the Poker Brat, Phil Hellmuth went All-in with a pair of 8s in his pocket. His opponent was holding pocket Qs and with a board made up of A-Q-9-K-10 knocked Hellmuth out of the inaugural WSOPE.
It didn't take long for fireworks to go off at the Feature Table either. After an unsuited flop of 10-9-7 Daniel Negreanu went All-in going against Gus Hansen. When all was said and done Negreanu finished off with a Q-high straight.
Some big guns are sitting at the Feature Table and they include Daniel Negreanu, the aforementioned Hansen and Patrik Antonius, who sits in second with $283,200.
Third times a charm at the World Series of Poker Europe (although it is actually the fifth day) and Gus Hansen is in the lead with a chip count totalling $349,400.
