Due to the speed of play and the number of players who have dropped today, the tournament staff has decided to play things straight through tomorrow until we have a winner.
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi was one of the most active players today, but it's served him well. He'll come into tomorrow as the biggest stack in the room and look to continue his dominance on the way to a WSOP Circuit gold ring.
Among others still in contention are Matt Brady, Men "The Master" Nguyen, and Matt Graham. Don't forget about Dwyte Pilgrim either. He holds two championship rings from Circuit events and will be looking for a third and his second Main Event title.
We'll be back tomorrow at 12 noon PT to take you all the way to the end. See you all then!
