The $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship Final Table
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
They will have to lose one more player calling it official, but the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship final table gets going at 2 p.m. today.
The list of the remaining ten is filled with accomplished poker players. The chip leader coming in is one Matt O'Donnell, who already made a final table this year finishing fifth in Event #4: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
But still in the hunt are names like three-time WSOP final table participant Chino Rheem, two-time WSOP final table participant Dan Shak, and WSOP bracelet winners Todd Brunson and Barny Boatman.
Throw in two-time WSOP final table participants Richard Lyndaker and Ismael Bojang, 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $25,000 High Roller champ Alex Bilokur, and 2012 $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em fourth-place finisher Alexander Venovski and we are assured some pretty good action today.
Stay tuned to PokerNews Live Updates to catch it all until a winner is crowned.

Slow Start
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
The first few hands in the final ten have started relatively slow with nothing moving past a flop and most hands of the raise and take it variety.
Conversation at the table has consisted of a casual conversation about the RFID playing cards they are using being slightly different than what the players are used to.
However, just moments ago, Alex Bilokur started the action with a 25,000 open before Matt O'Donnell made it 62,000 on the button.
Ismael Bojang suddenly got very still and quiet before sliding out a four-bet to 145,000. Both Bilokur and O'Donnell tanked for a short time before folding.
"Yeah!!!"
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
We got our first excessive celebration of the day, as Todd Brunson shouted his trademark "Yeah!!!" after taking a small pot from Dan Shak where Brunson turned two pair with

Chino Chips Up
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Chino Rheem called a preflop raise from Barny Boatman and they both checked the 
flop.
But when the board paired again on the 
turn and Boatman checked, Rheem led out for 55,000. Boatman responded with a check-raise to 110,000 and within 30 seconds Rheem called.
The river came the 
and without hesitation, Boatman checked. Rheem announced pot and before he could even move chips forward, Boatman's cards hit the muck
