Right at the tail end of Level 13, the starting field of 105 entries was trimmed to 10 players, and they’ve just redrawn for new seats around the final table. Here’s the lineup:

Seat 1: Gavin O’Rourke – 190,000 (95 bb)
Seat 2: Guifang Liu – 336,500 (168 bb)
Seat 3: Kirk Morrison – 65,000 (33 bb)
Seat 4: Matt Affleck – 45,500 (23 bb)
Seat 5: Jorge Bello Fuentes – 30,300 (15 bb)
Seat 6: Wenhao Ying – 72,800 (36 bb)
Seat 7: Scott Levitt – 175,000 (88 bb)
Seat 8: Derek Sudell – 99,600 (50 bb)
Seat 9: Carlos Guerrero – 190,000 (95 bb)
Seat 10: Andre Crooks – 63,300 (32 bb)

Seminole Hard Rock Poker’s own Matt Affleck is the first name that jumps off the page, and he has direct position on another dangerous player.

Kirk Morrison is a bit of a blast from the past, half-jokingly admitting that this is just his second tournament in the past seven years. Regardless of the actual count, he’s been essentially missing in action from the live tournament trail during that span.

Morrison’s record prior to that is outstanding, though. It includes a WSOP gold bracelet in Stud, a runner-up finish to Carlos Mortensen in the WPT World Championship, and more than $3 million in earnings.

Here are the remaining payouts for the finalists in Event 3:
