Date Added: May 31, 2010 Author: Chris Hayward

The World Poker Players Championship in Las Vegas has just wrapped up for Day 3, and it is turning into a brotherly affair. The Mizrachi brothers both remain well set in the last 21 after the close. However, a plethora of fascinating story lines is likely to be played out tomorrow.

As the curtain closed on Day 3 at WSOP Poker Players Championship, a wonderful story is emerging from the felt. The chip leader Michael Mizrachi currently holding over $1.48 million, thrust into the lead with a good finish to the last level. However, with the bubble looming and the probable final table set tomorrow, it is very much a case of sibling rivalry on the horizon. Older brother Robert is waiting in the wings holding $1 million, possibly setting up a mouth watering show-down with his sibling.

However, it promises to be far from a walk in the park! The formidable poker names of Abe Mosseri, Andy Bloch, Eli Elezra, John Juanda to name a few, still lie in wait and Day 4 looks to be one of the most exciting in the tournaments relatively short history. Notable absentees from the final 21 are Doyle Brunson 'The Godfather of Poker', Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson, Phil Ivey and the original 'Poker Brat' Phil Hellmuth, who bowed out in his own inimitable way. The Legend Brunson played well in this tournament, but ran into a decent hand from Andy Bloch whilst all-in to end his participation.
