Play Concludes With Nine

Today began with 85 hopefuls competing for the final nine spots here in Event #24. Play was lively early, and things were progressing at a reasonable pace for a couple of hours. When the money bubble hit though, play ground to a near-halt. Even when we got past the bubble, it seemed the players were uninterested in seeking out big confrontations. That trend became even more apparent as we approached the final table bubble. Eliminations have been extremely few and far between for several hours now. Finally, just after 5:00am local time, the field has been narrowed to the lucky nine who will return tomorrow to play for the bracelet.

Kyle Kloeckner will be our chip leader to start play tomorrow, sitting with 494,000 chips. There are a few players hot on his heels though -- including Allen Cunningham with 484,000 -- and it really is anyone's game at this point. This last table of ten players tonight gave us a little glimpse of what to expect. If it is any indication, tomorrow's table will be quite serious in nature, and quite a hard-fought battle for whoever comes out on top.

Join us tomorrow (today) at 3:00pm local time from the ESPN arena in the Amazon Room as we seek out our champion and award the 24th bracelet of the year!
