Opener
Meanwhile, over in the final day of the Opener we're just approaching the end of Level 10 with 27 players remaining. No prizes for guessing who's leading - it's Justin Arnwine - and it's a big lead.
The east coast crusher has roughly five times the tournament average to lead the field, and as one of the most experienced closers in poker it'd be no surprise to see him do what he does best again.
