Twenty Players Return for the Ring, Phan Leads
![[user196975]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
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!

Fielder Out in 19th
In a limped pot pre flop, the board read 
. After a series of raises and re-raises, Jeff Fielder was all in for an astounding 718,000, and Hao Le had him at risk with a flush draw.
Showdown
Fielder: 
Le: 
"Diamond!" someone yelled on the rail. "Diamond!"
The wasn't a diamond, but it gave Le extra outs. Fielder was one card away from a massive double up, but it wasn't to be. The 
slammed on the river, giving Le a winning flush, and eliminating Fielder from the tournament. While the dealer was counting out the stacks to verify the knockout, Fielder was taking pictures with his phone - he wanted to document the crazy hand that eliminated him from the Main Event.
