First the Final Nine, Then A Gold Ring
It's Day 3 here at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's St. Louis Main Event. Just 21 players remain of the 625 that entered and leading them all is Chris Conrad with 1.512 million chips. Conrad looks to lock up his seat in the WSOP National Championsip, his first WSOPC gold ring and $190,961. His lead isn't safe though with Tripp Kirk (1.326m) and Gannesh Letchumanan (1.235m) hot on his heels.
Looking to add to their WSOPC trophy case is Charles "Woody" Moore (417,000) and Alexandru Masek (364,000). Moore is fresh off a runner up finish from the WSOPC Council Bluffs Main Event and Masek looks to add a Main Event title to his resume.
Accomplished circuit players Tripp Kirk and Ryan Tepen remain in the field, hoping to land the near $200,000 score.
They played deep into night on Sunday, bagging up their chips at 2:30 in the morning. Hopefully the remaining players got plenty of sleep last night because we're playing down to a winner tonight, no matter how long it takes.
The Missouri Gaming Commission has elected to not allow a live stream of the final table. So follow all the action until we crown a winner on PokerNews.com.
