The $12.5 Million Venom continues with Day 3

The $12.5 Million GTD Venom continues its historic march with Day 3 today. There are 102 players remaining and it will play all the way down to nine for the Final Table on Wednesday.

In case you didn’t hear, we originally weren’t sure if this tourney would beat the guarantee, After all, our previous biggest event was $10 Million GTD, so this one was 25% larger. But after a huge turnout (1,638 entrants) during Day 1E on Sunday, we finished with a final prize pool of $12,612,500!

Here’s a look at the chip count leaders for the start of Day 2:

1. Anzuelitico (54,280,595)
2. AfonsoRibeiro (54,120,365)
3. FutureTrunks (43,033,124)
4. Pagodeiro31 (40,892,899)
5. Pippolznaghi (40,184,260)
6. Texxassss (37,821,301)
7. BillieJeann (34,681,672)
8. JohnnyBoj (34,337,081)
9. Pandinho (31,319,685)
10. StairsUP (29,158,919)

One of the players of note who is still alive is ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker (MONEYMAKER). He was in 10^th place heading into Day 2 yesterday and now sits in 70^th place (7,973,387 chips) as we start Day 3.

Remember you can catch the Final Table on our Twitch channel tomorrow (Wednesday) starting at 4:35pm ET. It’s on a 30-minute delay, with holes cards shown, and we will have our normal entertaining set of commentators. Remember, three of the nine players at the Final Table are guaranteed to become millionaires.

Best of luck to everyone taking part in Day 3 of the Venom. It’s gonna be another great day of huge poker action!
