The third and final day of the World Series of Poker Circuit presented by Southern Comfort 100 Proof Main Event IP Biloxi will see six returning players. A long day of action on Day 2 saw Kyle Cartwright bag a million more chips than second place John Dolan.
Dennis Pasntine (947,000), Brad Johnson (721,000), Cory Wood (590,000) and Jesus Cabrera (333,000) round out the remaining field.
