It was moving day Thursday in the 2016 World Series of Poker main event, with more than 60 percent of the field that came into Day 3 going out and going away empty-handed, with the rest either walking away with a small profit or intensified hopes of a spot in the November Nine and the $8 million first place prize.
800 players have moved on to Day 4, with 40 of them bagging at least 1 million chips. Belgian Kenny Hallaert had the best day of all, building a stack of 1,709,000 to take the chip lead into Friday’s action.
