Day 3 play is on the horizon at the PokerStars United Kingdom and Irealand Poker Tour (UKIPT) Galway NLH Main Event and it's seems as though the Radisson Hotel has been invaded by qualifiers!

Of the 59 remaining players returning to play Day 3 on Sunday, only 18 of them did not earn their way into the tournament by qualifying online on PokerStars.

The lead dog is no different. Qualifier Alan Gilmore has the most chips after Saturday's play. Gilmore will enter Sunday's play with 467K in chips, just 8K chips more than second place player Aleksandras Rusinovas who, you guessed it, also qualified online in order to enter the event.

PokerStars players Dean Lyall and Defending Champion Nick Abou Risk has Top 15 stacks heading into Day 3 play.
