JD McNamara enters the final day of play with the chip lead

We're back in the Amazon Room and for the nine remaining players it's their fourth and final day in Event #24: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. It's been a long haul to get past 3,280 other players to reach this very point, but hopefully they've saved their best for last as this is where it counts the most. A bad beat today could mean the difference between $38,629 and $503,389...oh and one of those little shiny bracelet thingies!

JD McNamara and Thanh dat Tran were exchanging the chip lead yesterday afternoon, with McNamara taking a narrow advantage into play today.

Here's how the players will lineup at the start of this final table:

Seat 1: Blake Kelso - 1,166,000
Seat 2: JD McNamara - 2,393,000
Seat 3: Thanh dat Tran - 2,311,000
Seat 4: Greg Pohler - 1,660,000
Seat 5: David Cai - 844,000
Seat 6: Michael Gross - 535,000
Seat 7: Denis Murphy - 789,999
Seat 8: Jeffrey Tebben - 466,000
Seat 9: John Tolbert - 925,000
