Jamey Kramer
Jamey Kramer

The final day of Event #9: $3,250 High Roller 8-Max will start at 2 p.m. right here at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and it is Jamey Kramer who will be starting as the chipleader.

A total of 95 entry slips were sold on Day 1 and of those, just 42 found a bag to move onto the final day but those players won't be alone as the late registration and re-entry period is set to remain open until play begins today. Once Day 2 starts the registration will be closed and a prize pool will be announced.

Kramer is well in front with his 284,000 stack as the day begins and will be looking to add a new personal best cash here in the second high roller of the series. Kramer shot up midway through the day and dominated the latter parts, punching his ticket into the final day with a monstrous lead.
