Finale Day 3: Playing Down to a Final Table

$10,000 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale 
Level 18: 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000 ante
Players Remaining: 27 of 342
Average Stack: 507,000 (51 bb)

Chino Rheem
2008 November Niner Chino Rheem returns as the WPT Finale Day 3 leader

The $10,000 WPT Finale is down to its last 27 players and they return today to play down to the final table six. The field made the money last night, but today they start advancing towards the really big cash.

The remaining field is packed with talent and we’re set to witness some great poker. Those 27 players have a combined $55.7 million in career earnings, a November Niner, and the reigning WPT Player of the Year. The 3/4/5 seats at Table 7, in particular, will be tough; Ari Engel with his eight WSOP Circuit rings, Anthony Zinno with three WPT titles plus a WSOP bracelet, and David Paredes less than a year removed from his WPT Borgata title.

Chino Rheem leads the field when they restart but no one is out of contention with the deep stack and continued slow-paced structure.

Players will soon un-bag their chips and kick off the Day 3 action.
