We have reached the 12th hour of play. Remember when Thor Hansen was all in on the first hand and busted out?? If you do, you are a true die hard fan and have been following along with our coverage of the $50K HORSE final table for over a half a day.

There are three players remaining -- Bruno Fitoussi, John Hanson, and Freddy Deeb. All of them have held the chip lead at some point over the last twelve hours. Fitoussi had the largest margin over the other two players, but since then they have caught up as the lead changed hands several times. Currently, Freddy Deeb is the chip leader with 6.5M.

Although we don't expect this final table to last longer than the 2006 marathon of a final table, rest assured that we will be here providing coverage until the final hand.

Here are the final table payouts and results:
1. ??? - $2,276,832
2. ??? - $1,278,720
3. ??? - $852,480
4. Amnon Filippi - $586,080
5. Kenny Tran - $444,000
6. David Singer - $337,440
7. Barry Greenstein - $259,296
