Not the Final Table

Good afternoon and welcome back to the Empire Casino in the heart of London's West End. Outside, the city is gearing up for what could be a very messy Saturday night - but inside the casino we are about to start a party of our own, as one happy gentleman is going to win a WSOPE bracelet before the night is out.

The bubble last night was nothing short of epic - it took four hours to lose the unfortunate John Kabbaj, whose aces were cracked when 2010 WSOP Main Event finalist John Racener made a flush, and we return today with 15 players instead of the scheduled nine.

Racener lurched into the lead with that hand and he remains the chip leader going into the final day. If his good run continues, we could yet see him going into the November Nine with a bracelet already to his name.

Also still in the field, though, are a number of people already in possession of a coveted bracelet or two. Willie Tann, who won his bracelet in 2005 and also finalled the six-max event two days ago, is third in chips, and fellow six-max finallist and two-time bracelet winner Chris Bjorin has an average stack; Jeff Madsen, also on average chips, will be looking to score his third bit of WSOP wrist candy. All of them trail behind Jeff Lisandro, though - if things go his way today, the 2009 WSOP Player of the Year could be picking up his fifth bracelet tonight.

Play is due to start at 3pm, around an hour from now. Until then, feast your eyes on the seat draw below.
