For the first time since the beginning of the main event of the World Series of Poker, all of the players in the tournament will play under one roof on Friday. Today is a much needed day off, and below you can find the top 20 in chips, and some selected names of the other 1,139 still left in the field.
One name stands out, as Daniel Negreanu has climbed his way to 6th in chips, after riding a really short stack for much of his day one. One player who was on Daniel's table came up to me during play last night, and, despite just doubling himself up to 100,000 chips, was more interested in talking about Daniel than his own double up. He said this to me. "Man, Daniel has the whole table wrapped around his finger – it's just a matter of time now". Daniel was at about 120,000 chips at that point, and indeed apparently it was just a matter of time.
Play will resume at noon on Friday, and the field will easily reach the money that day. The final table is scheduled for Thursday, August 10th.
Team PokerNews has three players left, and they are in bold.
