Final Table Time
It's final table time. Welcome to Event #54, the last of the open-field, $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em events. Just nine have survived from a huge starting field of 3,844, and all return with hopes of ultimately turning that $1,000 investment into a nifty $570,960 payday.
When play resumes, three of the final nine will be returning to significantly larger chip stacks than the others, with David Peters, Marcel Vonk, and Henrik Tollefsen having pushed out ahead during the latter stages of play on Sunday.
While Day 1a of the Main Event rages on over in the Amazon Room, this final table is scheduled to take place over in what should be a relatively quiet Pavilion Room. But there should be a few fans of the players on the rail, perhaps making some noise in support of our final nine.
And we'll be there, too, bringing you all of the action. Cards go in the air at 3 p.m. local time. See you back here then and together we'll find out who takes the Event #54 bracelet.
