Champion To Be Crowned Today in the WSOPC $2,200 High Roller at the Rio
The final day of Event #14: $2,200 High Roller will start at 2 p.m. right here at the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino and it is Vijaya Madala who will be starting as the chipleader.
A total of 164 entry slips were sold on Day 1 and of those, just 55 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.
Madala is sitting on top of the field with his 205,000 and will be looking to surpass his previous best cash of $18,530. A handful of players are right behind the leader including Jasthi Kumar (197,000), Martin Zamani (191,000), Constantinos Psalladas (190,500), and Ankush Mandavia (190,000).
