Brett Apter won his circuit ring earlier this year in Potawatomi for $16,356.

Ben Thomas is looking to bring home another ciruit ring from Biloxi as he won his previous ring in IP Biloxi in 2018. His largest score of his WSOPc career thus far was for $42,687, so any finish third or better would secure his biggest score of his career.

Jeremy Eyer | 13 | 2 | 1 | $42,425 |
Hamid Izadi is the owner of three circuit rings, two of them coming in 2019, one in Coconut Creek and one in Hammond Horseshoe. A win today would create for Izadi’s largest score of his WSOPc career, the previous largest being for $82,626.
Boris Kasabov, the short stack, is the only player remaining who does not own a circuit ring. He will be looking to finish the job this time around as he has a handful of 2nd and 3rd place finishes on his WSOPc resume.
The table dynamics will be interesting with the first level being critical, as Eyer and Apter lead the field and are neck in neck with each other with only two big blinds separating their stacks. Thomas and Izadi are some distance behind and are very close to one another for third place, while Kasabov is the clear short stack, but could easily catch up to the group with a few pots.
Play will begin at 12 p.m. local time and will not finish until a winner is crowned. As per usual, PokerNews will provide all the coverage
