The final game to get underway for day 1b has started. David Saab will take on Team 888 Poker member Darren Woods.
Saab has had to wait a long time for this game to start and he's finally in action. He has to play an extra game than Woods as well, with a mentally draining challenge against Jay Rosenkrantz.
That said with Saab going through in straight sets from the second round, and Woods playing a marathon in his only game, they have probably played a similar amount of poker today.
