PCA 2008 Day Three Begins with Rizen at the Top
Even though they are not assured money, 159 players at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure were sleeping last night with millionaire dreams still very much alive. The European Poker Tour event will start up day 3 today with those 159 runners with varied hopes of either just making the cash to waking up with seven figures sitting in their PokerStars accounts when they log on back home.

Among the causalities of Day 2 included Daniel Negreanu and the always beautiful Isabelle Mercierlinks but some Team PokerStars Pros still remain in the hunt. Barry Greenstein, Hevad Khad, Victor Ramdin all advanced to the Day 3. One PokerStars Pro, "ElkY" Grospellier, is sitting on the second biggest chip stack in the room currently only trailing another online juggernaut in Eric "Rizen" Lynch who holds the chip lead after a hand recounted by the PokerStarsBlog.com team:

Of those, Eric "Rizen" Lynch rose the highest. The soft-spoken poker player's poker player spent the day building an admirable stack. Toward the end of the night, he had edged into the top ten in chips. With just minutes to go before the end of the night, Lynch sat looking at a 524/9 two-diamond board. His opponent had just pushed all-in-enough to cut well into Lynch's stack. Lynch pondered for a moment, but it seemed he already knew what he was going to do. He called and flipped two kings. The look on his opponent's face made it clear the call was a good one. His opponent held Ad6d. A non-diamond nine fell on the river and Lynch raked in enough chips to give him the tournament lead at 526,900.
