The World Poker Tours Five Diamond Classic, also known as the Doyle Brunson Classic, heads to Day 3. Steve Landfish started the day with chip lead as his stack totals 385,900 chips. He isn’t out in front by much as Brent Hanks holds a chip stack worth 383,000. The buzz in the room has got to be over the position Doyle Brunson put himself in heading into Day 3. Doyle started the day in 15th place, and it would be a Hollywood ending if he were to ship his own tournament. It’s too close to call at the moment so check back with Poker777 for more updates on this one of a kind tournament.

Isildur1 was at it again as he played multiple sessions throughout the day, and once again walked away from the tables with a loss. This time Cole Smith did the damage. The CardRunners pro defeated Isildur1 in the normal pot-limit Omaha heads up match. They played over 3,000 hands, and Cole Smith was able to take $229K off of Isildur1. I haven’t reported many wins for Isildur1 as of late, so is the unknown Swede running out of tricks at the poker table? Only time will tell as I am sure this roller coaster isn’t over as long as Isildur1 has an opponent.
