A powerful finale is in store for Monday in Event 28, $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha w/ Rebuys. Beyond the first-place prize money of $817,781 at stake, there are several interesting side stories, from the Internet pros (Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond, Brian "tsarrast" Rast) at the top of the board, to the star-laden power of the rest of the table, including Daniel Negreanu, John Juanda, Johnny Chan and Phil Hellmuth. Hellmuth squeezed into this final on a very short stack, outlasting Chris Ferguson, and it's Hellmuth's 40th final table, breaking his tie for that mark that he had shared with TJ Cloutier.

Hellmuth, though, has a tough road to bracelet #12, while Chan sits with mid-pack stack as he seeks his own 11th bracelet, which would tie Hellmuth's mark established just last year.

Today's seating assignments:

Seat 1: John Juanda (Las Vegas, Nevada) -- 694,800
Seat 2: Phil Hellmuth (Palo Alto, California) -- 119,000
Seat 3: David Benyamine (Las Vegas, Nevada) -- 1,041,000
Seat 4: Kirill Gerasimov (Moscow, Russia) -- 558,000
Seat 5: Phil Galfond (Madison, Wisconsin) -- 1,393,000
Seat 6: Daniel Negreanu (Las Vegas, Nevada) -- 460,000
Seat 7: Brian Rast (Las Vegas, Nevada) -- 1,176,000
Seat 8: Adam Hourani (East Lansing, Michigan) -- 300,000
Seat 9: Johnny Chan (Las Vegas, Nevada) -- 624,000

Action gets underway at 3pm PDT Monday on the ESPN feature-table stage.
