WSOP Event #28 NLHE Monster Stack Day 3

Ian Modder and Ryan Delorme of British Columbia are the two PNW players remaining in the Monster Stack, which has 29 players returning for Day 4. Portland-area fave Jacqueline Burkhart had a fast start to the day, and was in the top 20 stacks mid-afternoon, but fell defending her big blind (and gut-shot straight flush draw) after nine-and-a-half hours.
