The final table is set in the WSOP Circuit Thunder Valley $1,700 Main Event, and whoever takes down the tournament is looking at a tough road to the championship.
Day 2 saw the field trim down to the final nine players, and Jaime Haletky (4,030,000) comes into Day 3 as the chip leader. Scott Stewart (3,105,000) is the closest player to Haletky on the chip leaderboard.
The original field of 487 entries was down to 100 at the beginning of Day 2, and it took just over eight hours of play Sunday to get down to the final nine.
Those final nine includes players like Dapo Ajayi (1,840,000), who's at his second straight final table in this series. Ajayi final tabled the $3,250 High Roller just three days ago, and is looking for his first WSOP Circuit ring of his career.
In addition to the ring, the first-place prize of $147,406 is on the line. The remaining players will play through 60 minute levels Monday, with the restart scheduled for noon at the Thunder Valley Resort in Lincoln, California. The tournament will play down to a winner, with play resuming at Level 25 and the blinds and antes at 15000/30000/30000.
Stewart will be vying for his sixth career WSOP Circuit ring, and to add the six-figure first prize to his career tournament earnings total of more than $1.9 million.
Peter Pap (1,825,000), Marko Pantelic (1,675,000), Marcus Laffen (985,000), Dann Turner (550,000), Bryan Piccioli (315,000), and Bin Duan (290,000) round out the final table lineup.

Players can qualify for the 2019/20 Global Casino Championship in one of several ways (a.) win a Circuit Main Event at any domestic or international stop (b.) win a "Casino Championship," which is defined as the player at each stop who accumulates the most points throughout the 12-event gold ring schedule at any domestic or international stop (c.) be one of the top 50 cumulative point earners over the entire season who hasn't otherwise qualified (Domestic tour only). Each of these projected 128 players will receive a "free roll" seat into the culminating event.
