Ben Cherif Doubles on Hand #1
Rachid Ben Cherif started out as the shortest stack in the room and in the first hand of the day, the action folded to him on the button. He shoved for 480,000 and big blind Michael Benjamin Jones called.
Rachid Ben Cherif: [Kd7c]
Michael Benjamin Jones: [Ks5c]
The board ran out [Ah6d7d] [Tc] [8s] and Ben Cherif doubled. While he now has twice the number of chips he started with, he’s still one of the shortest players in the room.

An Exciting Day 3 Awaits With Huge Names Still in Contention
At noon, the partypoker MILLIONS UK Main Event resumes. The sixty survivors of the first two days merge with the fifteen that had already played their way through to Day 3 online for a combined field of 75 players.
All guaranteed the min-cash of $20,000, and they’re all eyeing the top-prize of $1,000,000. The goal for the day is to get as close to a final table of eight as possible. The finalists are guaranteed to take home $100,000 from the $5,141,000 prize pool.
Irish Open winner Weije “Jervi” Zheng leads the field, looking for another big score. The competition is fierce, though, as some of the top names in poker have played their way through to the money stage of the UK’s most prestigious event. WSOP Main Event winner Hossein Ensan still has a shot at the partypoker trophy, as does WSOPE Main Event winner Jack Sinclair, former partypoker MILLIONS Main Event winner Maria Lampropulos, and a whole platoon of high rollers. Sam Grafton sits in an excellent position to do some damage. Still, high stakes colleagues Ludovic Geilich, Joao Vieira, Sergi Reixach, Niall Farrell, and Patrick Leonard will try to make life hard for their tablemates as well.
Play restarts at noon when the gigantic prize pool will start to be paid with the first elimination. The live stream begins at 1 pm local time (8 am ET), and from that point, live coverage will keep in time with the delayed feed.
