Players Remaining: 18 of 585

Matas Cimbolas

The Championship began with 585 entries and they have been whittled down to the last 18 players. They have competed for most of 23 levels and we will know the identity of the final table members before the day is through. The last six players will gather tomorrow to play for the title in front of the Poker Night in America cameras.

WPT Champions Club member Matas Cimbolas returns with a big chip lead but there is talent spread throughout last two tables including Seminole Hard Rock team members Sheddy Siddiqui and Darryll Fish, 2015 WSOP Main Event champ Joe McKeehen, high-stakes specialists Shaun Deeb and David Peters, WSOP bracelet winner Jean Gaspard, high-roller David Peters, eight-time WSOPC ring winner Ari Engel, and former RRPO champion Jake Bazeley.

And those are just a few of the tough players coming back, there are no soft spots.

Lily Kiletto, Engel, and Peters will have a little work to do with their returning stacks but the structure continues to run 90-minute levels throughout the day. They will have plenty of time to run it up.

Cards go back in the air and the Championship will continue moving along until we have six players remaining.
