By some distance one of the smallest starting fields in recent WPT history (just 227 players started the tournament) has already been reduced to just 33 with two days remaining. Leading the field is Ryan Daut, the recent winner of January’s PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, another World Poker Tour event that netted him over $1.5 million.

Daut starts Day Three with $320,000 chips, slightly in front of the Day One chip leader Shawn Buchanon who has $275,000. Many of the big name pros have now been knocked out, but John Juanda, David Levi, Barry Greenstein, Michael Mizrachi, Jared Hamby, Billy Baxter, Thomas Wahlroos, and Alan Goehring are still in the hunt and will be a threat as the field thins.
