After three rounds, four titled players share the first place lead at the Bill Wright Saint Louis Open, but the heavy favorite coming into the tournament ran into a tough round-three opponent.

Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, the 2009 U.S. Champion, drew WIM Iryna Zenyuk in round three. IM Irina Krush and GMs Dmitry Gurevich, Robert Hess and Alejandro Ramirez all share the first-place lead with scores of 3/3. GMs Ben Finegold, Josh Friedel, Mesgen Amanov and WIM Alisa Melekhina all took a round-three bye, which left them tied with Nakamura for second.

IM Michael Brooks, WIM Tatev Abrahamyan, Zenyuk, Daniel Gurevich, Jim Voelker and Christopher Prather all have 2.5/3 as well.

Stay tuned for a full recap tomorrow.
