That's right, our start-of-the-day chip leader, Anthony Vidmer, was the director of the poker-themed High Rollar: The Stu Ungar Story that featured Michael Imperioli as Ungar and was released in 2003. Clearly Vidmer is a poker fan and no doubt looking to follow in his late muse's footsteps by capturing some WSOP gold of his own.
The winner will have to snatch the ring from the Gator's mouth.
The final table is upon us here at Day 4 of the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event at Harrah's St. Louis. Nearly 700 players put up the $1,600 entrance fee for a chance at the title, a WSOP Main Event seat, a National Championship seat, a shiny gold ring and just over $200,000.
Anthony Vidmer has the chiplead but has Andrew Nguyen just barely edged out. Justin Truesdell is the only other member of the 2 million chip club but Daniel Lowery is knocking on the door with over 1.9 million. Michael Hallen sits at the average chip stack and Shane Smith has just over 1 million. Rounding out the bottom are Dominic Gabaldon, Ramon Martinez and George Miro round out the bottom of the counts.
