Play Concludes For the Evening

[user40108]

With the elimination of Frank Kassela, play has stopped for the evening. We're now down to the final eight players that will comprise tomorrow's final table. This day started with 104 players, all with their eye on a big payday and a WSOP championship. For most, that dream is no more.

The eight players left standing will return tomorrow at 3:00pm PDT to play for a place in history, a gold bracelet, and $157,619.

Chris Viox finishes the day as our chip leader with approximately 350,000. Barry Greenstein is not far behind however with 220,000. However, given the nature of this game, and the stacks in play, the title is still very much up for grabs.

We hope you'll join us tomorrow at 3:00pm PDT as we conclude the coverage of Event #26 - $1,500 Razz. As always, official chip counts will be posted as soon as they are available.
