The Deepest Stack structure for the Main Event meant that it will take an extra day of poker to determine our champion. There are still seven players left vying for the title with a lot of talent, success, and accomplishments.
WSOP bracelet winner/WSOP Circuit winner/RRPO Championship winner Chris Bolek returns with the chip lead and he’s followed by two-time WSOP champ Loni Harwood. TK Miles, Ryan Gianquitti, Josias Santos, Joshua Zur, and Steve Duncker round out the final table and it’s still anyone’s game.
Everyone is guaranteed at least $17,354 but they all want the $111,196 up top for the winner.
They will restart the action midway through Level 26 with blinds at 30,000/60,000/60,000 and 90-minute levels
