Final Table Minutes Away

[user108095]

We're getting ready for the start of today's final table, with nine players returning to compete for the Mixed Hold 'em bracelet.

Leading the field is Karlo Lopez with 941,000, followed closely by Bhador Ahmadi with 708,000. Barry Greenstein, arguably the best known player in the field, comes in with a relatively short stack of just 193,000.

Stick around for what promises to be an exciting day of action as we play down to a champion.

Level: 20

Blinds: 0/0

One Shy at the Start

[user108095]

It looked like we were starting today's action two players short as neither Ylon Schwartz or Matthew Woodward had shown with just minutes to go until the start.

Now, we're just one player down as Schwartz slipped into his seat with just seconds to spare before cards got in the air. There's still been no sign of Woodward though.

Woodward Arrives

[user76023]

Matt Woodward has finally got here, hurrah!

Haddox Doesn't Get the Hump

[user76023]

Randy Haddox raises to 40,000. Zachary Humphrey makes it 60,000 in the big blind. The flop is {3-Diamonds}

and Humphrey leads for 20,000 without much behind. Haddox folds after a little thought.

Silly Technical Problems

[user76023]

We're having some technical issues with something technical at the final table.

The problem, whatever it is, is being solved by it being repeatedly hit with a hammer. Probably.

A Slow Start

[user108095]

The players don't seem all that aggressive at the start of today's action. It's hard to tell if they're tired or are just taking awhile to get in gear, but at this point, we've only seen two flops as most hands are being won with just a single preflop raise.

Schwartz Gets Off the Schnide

[user108095]

In our first significant pot of the day, Karlo Lopez raised from late position and Ylon Schwartz called from the big blind.

Schwartz then check-called a flop of {A-Spades}
