The final day of Event #18 $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha (8 handed) will take place with 10 players returning to the Horseshoe Event Center at 12:00 p.m. First place will take home a shiny WSOP bracelet, along with $294,311.

Grzegorz Derkowski leads the pack with a commanding stack of 9,680,000. Dylan Weisman is looming in second place with 5,970,000 as he looks to make a run at his second bracelet while contributing massively to his 25K Fantasy team.

Other 25k Fantasy players include Chino Rheem who sits in fourth place with 3,655,000 chips and Daniel Zack who has some work ahead of him if he wants to contend for a fourth WSOP bracelet. He is currently in tenth place with 675,000 chips.
