Zero cashes so far for Howard Lederer at the 2016 WSOP.
Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo was able to maintain his chip lead during day 3 of the 2016 WSOP Event #55: $50,000 Poker Players Championship, and is leading the final 13 players heading into day 4.
Plenty of big names busted out during day 3 including George Danzer, Eli Elezra, Phil Hellmuth, Todd Brunson, Scott Seiver and disgraced former owner of Full Tilt Poker Howard Lederer.
Hand-for-hand play ended up lasting only a few hands as the money bubble bursted, when a short-stacked Georgios Sotiropoulos was eliminated by Eric Wasserson in a hand of seven-card stud hi-lo. Shortly after resuming to normal play, three-time WSOP bracelet winner Robert Mizrachi hit the rail in 14th place for a $75,883 payday and day 3 ended.
The final 13 players features many big names like the two-time Poker Players Championship winner Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi and two other previous champions Brian Rast and Mike Gorodinsky. Daniel "KidPoker" Negreanu is also in the hunt for his 7th World Series of Poker bracelet.
All of the remaining players have guaranteed $75,833 for making it this far, while the new champion will take home $1,3 million and poker's most prestigious title.
