The final table is loaded at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harveys Tahoe $1,700 Main Event, and the road to the WSOPC ring will not be easy for whoever is crowned champion today.

The original field of 424 entries is down to the ten-handed final table, and those ten players will return to the Harveys Casino poker room in Lake Tahoe, Nevada today, and play down to a champion. At stake is the WSOPC ring and first-place prize of $133,285.

The Day 3 restart commences at noon, and players will play through 60-minute levels until a champion is crowned. The day will start at Level 26, with the blinds at 20000/40000/40000.

Charlie Coultas comes into the final table restart with a commanding chip lead, with 3,480,000 in chips. Coultas comes into today's action with over a half-million dollars in career earnings, and he'll be looking to add to that list of accomplishments with a big payday today.

Other well-accomplished players at the final table include Nick Pupillo (1,125,000), last year's runner-up in this event. Pupillo is a three-time WSOPC ring winner, and he'll go over $3 million in career earnings no matter where he finishes in this event.

Lee Markholt (1,125,000) is another tournament crusher in the final table mix, with more than $4.3 million in career earnings. Jeremy Kottler (1,285,000) is also in the hunt, and he'll be looking to add to a resume that includes more than $1.5 million in eanrings.

Michael Pearson (995,000), who won the Harveys Tahoe Main Event in 2016, is also in the hunt, while Mitch Garshofsky (855,000) is at a WSOP Circuit final table for the second time in his career.

The remaining field will play until a champion is crowned, with 15-minute breaks after every two levels. Coultas comes into Day 3 with a big chip lead, but the other players at the final table have plenty of chips to play with, and the championship is truly anybody's to win.

Joe Burke Eliminated in 10th Place ($9,547)

Joe Burke
Joe Burke

Joe Brindle shoved under the gun for 630,000, Joe Burke re-shoved for 1,070,000 from the hijack, Charlie Coultas shoved over the top for 3,400,000 from the cutoff, and all others players folded.

Joe Brindle: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Joe Burke: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Charlie Coultas: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Board: {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Coultas, the chip leader, was in position to create massive distance between himself and the rest of the field if his pocket aces held. The {5-Hearts} on the flop, however, put Brindle ahead, and after the runout Brindle tripled up, and Bukre was eliminated.

Coultas paid off Brindle in the main pot, but won 440,000 from Burke in the side pot to stay over the three million chip mark.
