Day 3 of the WPT Tampa Championship comes to an end with nine players remaining, and they will come back tomorrow at 1:00 pm EDT to play down to a winner.

With nine players remaining from a field of 1,165, the average chip stack is about 5,175,000 (35 big blinds). Here are the official chip counts:

Seat 1.  Steve Queen  –  6,875,000  (46 bb)
Seat 2.  Will Berry  –  3,600,000  (24 bb)
Seat 3.  John Haas  –  4,050,000  (27 bb)
Seat 4.  Brian Altman  –  10,800,000  (72 bb)
Seat 5.  Gabriel Abusada  –  5,950,000  (40 bb)
Seat 6.  Dave Berman  –  2,325,000  (16 bb)
Seat 7.  T.K. Miles  –  2,225,000  (15 bb)
Seat 8.  Zachary Smiley  –  4,975,000  (33 bb)
Seat 9.  Jonathan Jaffe  –  5,875,000  (39 bb)

The chipleader is reigning Hublot WPT Player of the Year Brian Altman, who is going for his third WPT title. And he’s not the only WPT champion at the table, as Zachary Smiley and Jonathan Jaffe have titles as well. And T.K. Miles has won more money in poker tournaments at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa than any player in history, and he’ll need to finish no lower than fourth to have a chance to defend his position on the all-time leaderboard.

Here are the remaining payouts at stake:

1st:  $613,225
2nd:  $408,825
3rd:  $302,200
4th:  $225,675
