Just 18 players remain after Day 3 of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) $5,300 Main Event at Resorts World Las Vegas, with Victor Paredes leading the way in the quest for the $765,200 top prize.

Those who advanced through Day 3 include PokerStars Ambassador Maria Konnikova, 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen, Japanese content creator Masato Yokosawa and high-stakes pros Matthew Wantman, Brock Wilson, Marco Johnson and Jared Jaffee.

The field of 77 players on Day 3 quickly dwindled with the money bubble already burst the previous day. Some of those who fell early on include reigning champion Sami Bechahed and qualifiers Andrew Voor, Jordan Glazer, Nathan Wasson, Jonathan Newman, and Brent Burrows.
Data of the tournament entries showed 35 different countries represented among 543 unique entries. About three-quarters of the field was American, while other countries represented included Canada, United Kingdom, Taiwan, Argentina, Mexico, Italy, Hong Kong, Argentina, Greece and Hungary.
Konnikova received an early boost as she picked up aces to bust Louise Francoeur. The PokerStars ambassador battled throughout the night with her mentor Erik Seidel just a few feet away in the $10,300 NAPT High Roller.

Jon Swift's elimination after dinner break made way for the final three tables. Reigning WSOP Main Event champion Jonathan Tamayo was one of the first to go at this stage after having his aces cracked by Nick Marchington.
Other late-night eliminations included Brian Yoon (21st - $26,000), Frank Brannan (20th - $29,900) and Gold Pass qualifier Brian Frasca (19th - $29,900).
Action will pick up on Saturday, Nov. 9 at noon local time on Level 25 with blinds of 20,000/40,000/40,000. There will still be another day of play before the next NAPT Main Event champion is crowned on Nov. 10.

Day 3 has ended with 18 players remaining.
Stay tuned for chip counts and a recap of the day's action.
Matthew Wantman raised to 250,000 in the cutoff and David "ODB" Baker announced a raise to 1,500,000 in the small blind. Wantman instantly folded and admitted he grabbed the wrong chips and raised more than he intended.
At another table, Curt Kohlberg raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Jared Jaffee three-bet to 210,000 on the button. Kohlberg then moved all in for 800,000 and Jaffee burned through several time banks before folding.
Jaffee opened to 60,000 the next hand, the last of the night, and everyone folded. "This could've been last hand," Jaffee told Kohlberg, showing A♦A♠ as players prepared to bag up for the night.

The clock has been paused and the remaining three tables will play two more hands before bagging for the night.
Byung Shin opened the hijack to 60,000 and Mike Vanier defended his big blind.
On the Q♣J♥10♠ flop, Vanier check-called a 45,000 bet from Shin.
The turn brought the 2♠ and Vanier check-called another bet, this time for 160,000.
Shin unloaded the clip on the 3♥ river as he bet 400,000 with just 175,000 behind. Vanier went into the tank and used a time back before he finally put in the call.
Byung Shin: K♠Q♦
Mike Vanier: K♣Q♠
Vanier made the right call on the end and the pot was chopped.

Action folded to Martin Carnero in the small blind who raised to 90,000. Brian Frasca called and they went heads-up to the J♦9♠6♠ flop.
Carnero then bet 190,000 and Frasca moved all in for 350,000. Carnero snap-called.
Brian Frasca: J♥10♠
Martin Carnero: K♣K♦
Frasca had flopped top pair, but Carnero showed down two kings to leave him at risk of elimination. Frasca picked up a straight draw on the Q♣ turn, but the 9♣ fell on the river and he was sent to the rail in 19th place.

Mike Vanier opened to 60,000 on the button and Byung Shin three-bet jammed a stack of 410,000 in the big blind. Vanier called with a bigger stack.
Byung Shin: K♠K♥
Mike Vanier: A♣5♥
Shin grimaced as an ace landed in the window, but the flop fanned K♣J♠A♦ to give him a big lead as the J♣5♦ runout improved him to a full house to double through Vanier.
"I was already out in the parking lot in my mind. I was turning left on Las Vegas Boulevard."

Martin Carnero opened the hijack to 60,000 before Frank Brannan jammed for 395,000 from the small blind and Carnero called.
Frank Brannan: K♥Q♠
Martin Carnero: 9♦9♣
It was a coinflip scenario until the 9♥5♠5♥ flop gave Carnero a full house. Nothing changed on the 4♠J♣ runout as Brannan hit the rail in 20th place.
