From the Money to the Final Table
Welcome back, poker fans to Day 3 of the $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-max event. Last night, John Juanda burst the money bubble, not only leaving our remaining 18 players with at least $58,699 in their pockets, but relinquishing his lead in the WSOP Player of the Year race to Frank Kassela. The only double bracelet winner thus far in the Series, Kassela returns to play today as one of the larger stacks, with 978,000 in chips, right behind Abe Mosseri, Sam Trickett, Brian Hodhod, who all have over a million chips apiece.
The man to catch today, however, is Bryn Kenney, who bagged up more than 2.4 million at the end of play early this morning. Also still in contention for the bracelet? Daniel Negreanu, Carlos Mortensen, Isaac Haxton, Justin Bonomo, Shawn Buchanan, and Jason Somerville.
The plan for today is to play down from our current 18 players to a final table of six. Action will recommence at 3 p.m. in the Amazon Room. Stay tuned!
