Who Will Take Home the $100,000 High Roller Bracelet?

A gold WSOP bracelet just like this one is up for grabs
A gold WSOP bracelet just like this one is up for grabs

If you take a look at the chip counts heading into the final day of Event #5: $100,000 High Roller, you can't help but notice that the top three players hold bracelets, while the other three are yet to win one of poker's most coveted wristpieces. However, it was American novelist Tom Robbins who once said, "Don't confuse symmetry with balance."

Balanced, this table is not. It is full of some of the top poker players in the world and as chip leader Nick Petrangelo said yesterday, they are each familiar with one another from long hours playing in some of the poker world's toughest fields. Any one of them could walk away with the top prize of $2,910,227 at the end of today's play, so stay tuned to PokerNews to find out who it will be!

Cards will be in the air at 2 p.m., and the action will be streamed on an hour delay on PokerGO.

Seat 1 - Andreas Eiler, Germany (8,490,000)

Andreas Eiler
Andreas Eiler

Andreas Eiler is one of only two Germans left at the $100,000 High Roller final table (alongside Aymon Hata), the odds of which might have been pretty long at the start of the tournament considering his nation's poker pedigree. However, that's not to disparage Eiler's poker resume, not least considering his last recorded cash was a €700,000 ($857,980) score after takign down the €25,000 Super High Roller at partypoker Barcelona.

Eiler has come within a whisker of taking home a WSOP gold bracelet, finishing runner-up to Dominik Nitsche in last year's WSOPE €111,111 High Roller for One Drop for €2,155,418 ($2,511,762). This may be only Eiler's third WSOP cash (his first came in the 2013 WSOP) but after missing out by the narrowest of margins in Rozvadov, he'll be out for revenge should he get to heads-up in this one.
