After two long days at the WSOP Circuit Harrah's Atlantic City Main Event, 20 players return to battle for a WSOP-C ring, a seat at the National Championship and $188,830. Leading the charge is Tuan Phan, who has a slight chiplead over Mike Devinsky.
A long day is in store for the remaining players — they will have to play down to a winner, no matter how long it takes. The short stacks will have their work cut out for them, as the bottom five players are all under 20 big blinds.
Five-figure payouts start at 15th place and a final-table finish guarantees $17,516 just in time for the holidays. A fifth-place finish could provide Lexus commercial Christmas with $47,684. The top two finishers will return home with a six-figure prize.
One thing is for sure, we'll crown a first-time ring winner later tonight or sometime tomorrow morning. Follow all the WSOP-C action live on Pokernews kicking off shortly!
