The third and final day of Event #1: $5,000 Champions Reunion will play out today with ten players returning to the Horseshoe Event Center at 1 p.m. in pursuit of a bracelet and the top prize of $408,468 �� the lion's share of the $2,047,800 prize pool.
Terry Fleischer leads the remaining players after he bagged the biggest stack of 5,610,000 chips at the culmination of Day 2. Turkey's Halil Tasyurek occupies second place on the leaderboard with 3,995,000 chips and China's Yuzhou Yin follows closely behind in third with a stack of 3,600,000.

10 | Bryce Welker | United States | 660,000 | 8 |
Only two bracelet winners remain in the field with Jonathan Pastore (1,465,000) and Aram Zobian (1,370,000) being the only ones to have the coveted gold strap on the mantlepiece. The pair occupy eighth and ninth on the leaderboard, respectively, and have their work cut out for them should they wish to join an exclusive club of two-time bracelet winners.
The WSOP certainly is an international affair and that is proven by the fact that the final ten players come from six different nations with the USA claiming half of those spots plus one player from each of Turkey, China, Serbia, Costa Rica, and France.
Play will resume at Level 26 (40,000/80,000/80,000) and the average stack sits at 2,465,000 (31 big blinds). You can catch the action on stream via PokerGO which will begin at 5 p.m. PDT with coverage only concluding once a champion has been crowned.
As usual, live updates can be found right here so stay tuned to see who has what it takes to go all the way.
