Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and the 2013 World Series of Poker for the final day of the Event #40: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em!
Just three days 2,161 players took to the felt to see if they could etch their names in the WSOP record books, but after 21 hours of poker, only 21 players remain with their hands reaching skywards to the gold bracelet and $525,272 in prizemoney.
Nicolas Fierro bagged the most chips in the early hours of the morning with 965,000 but has Matt Berkey - fresh off a 3rd place in Event 21 - snapping on his heels with 886,000. Joao Dorneles Neto (788,000), Richard Dubini (759,000) and five-time WSOP bracelet holder Allen Cunningham (697,000) all round out the top five. Griffen Benger (610,000), Garry Gates (489,000), David Nicholson (409,000), Kara Scott (314,000) and Jared Hamby (204,000) are also well-place in their quests for capturing their first bracelet.
