Event 29 Final Table

The field is down to nine players, and they have just drawn for random seats at the final table. Here is the lineup with approximate chip counts:

Seat 1.  Taylor Wilson  –  240,000  (30 bb)
Seat 2.  Dylan Smith  –  240,000  (30 bb)
Seat 3.  Shaun Deeb  –  1,075,000  (134 bb)
Seat 4.  Chance Kornuth  –  100,000  (13 bb)
Seat 5.  Roger Teska  –  185,000  (23 bb)
Seat 6.  Isaac Kempton  –  180,000  (23 bb)
Seat 7.  Kyle Merron  –  155,000  (19 bb)
Seat 8.  Ren Lin  –  335,000  (42 bb)
Seat 9.  Alex Foxen  –  205,000  (26 bb)

They still need to lose more than half the remaining players to reach the money, as only the final four spots will be paid:

1st:  $239,100 + SHRPO Trophy
2nd:  $141,300
3rd:  $97,800
4th:  $65,200

With nine players remaining from a field of 22, the average chip stack is around 306,000 (38 big blinds).
