It’s time to crown a winner in Event #48: $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship, and the résumés of the candidates applying are very impressive. There are one-time bracelet winners in Randy Ohel and Chris Vitch, a two-time bracelet winner in Abe Mosseri, three other three-time bracelet winners in Brock Parker, Benny Glaser and Jonathan Duhamel, and perhaps the biggest name in poker, 14-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth.
Then there are those looking for their first piece of World Series of Poker gold. That list includes Dan Shak, Jameson Painter, Alex Luneau and the current chip leader, Andrew Kelsall. Kelsall leads the way with 965,000, but is trailed just slightly by Vitch and Painter. At this point, it’s still anyone’s game.
Players are already in the money and are guaranteed a payday of at least $22,396. There are just three eliminations until the final table where players will make a minimum of $33,265 for an appearance. Sitting at the top on the payouts mountain is the first-place prize of $320,193 and the World Series of Poker gold bracelet.
Action is set to start very shortly at 2 p.m. PDT and PokerNews will be here with all the coverage as players fight down to a champion. Be sure to stay tuned in.
