Purple Jacket Race Could Be Turned Upside Down

Adrian Mateos remains the man to catch with 451 points, but two players at today's final table have a chance to overhaul the Spaniard in the Poker Masters Purple Jacket race.

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs currently sits seventh with 224 points, but the 222 points on offer for winning Event #8 would take him to 446 points, just five behind Mateos.

Justin Vaysman is even better placed. The Event #6 winner starts the day sixth in the standings with 231 points, meaning another title would take him to 453 points, enough to leapfrog Mateos into first place.

Both players are also guaranteed at least 54 points for reaching the final five
