Pat Lyons is joining the field on a late reg.

Lyons registered over an hour ago but hasn't gotten his chips yet because he made an unscheduled visit to the sportsbook.

"I'm going to play today so I don't have to tomorrow," said Lyons.

The WSOP bracelet winner has nearly $2,000,000 in recorded earnings.

Cruising in the $250k, Is 2022 Phil Ivey's Best WSOP Ever?

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

It's not a matter if, but when will Phil Ivey become just the second player ever to win that elusive 11th World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Perhaps, he's just a day away, especially if he continues to dominate Event #50: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em.
