The third day of play at the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic is off and running with the players at the tables and the cards in the air.  130 players made it through the first two day of play and are all looking to make it into the top 27 to make the money and to make a run at a final table appearance.

Brent “Bhanks11″ Hanks, Chad “M8kingmoves” Batista and Sorel “Imper1um” Mizzi are all in the top 5 with Steven Landfish leading the field coming into day 3 play.  The blinds start at 1,200 / 2,400 with a 300 ante making the top 27 players all at least 100 big blinds deep to start play.

Some monster stacks are sure to emerge today as the blinds increase and the field continues to drop in numbers.
