$2,200 Eight-Handed No Limit Hold’em (Freezeout)
Level 2: 50/100
Total Entries: 80

Event 17 continues to close in on the $200,000 guaranteed prize pool with nearly four hours remaining for players to make their way to the meeting room.

Joseph Cheong is back with us today and facing a tough lineup, not that any table in the $2,200 tournament is soft. He also has something in common with the player two seats to his left. Cheong is one of many players we see with big WSOP Main Event results and his came with a November Nine third place finish in 2010.

His table-mate knows a little something about getting that close to the big championship. Neil Blumenfield finished third in the most recent run as Joe McKeehen dominated that final table much as Jonathan Duhamel did in 2010.
