We saw a changing of the guard today as Andy Garza, who began the day as our chip leader, slowly lost ground and was later eliminated in 38th place. Picking up where Garza left off was a player by the name of Jose Luis Velador. By mid-day, Velador had amassed a huge chip lead. He took his big stack, and a little luck, and ran it into one of the the most dominant stacks in recent memory. At one point, he had over three times more chips than his closest competitor.
Will Velador be able to maintain his lead and emerge the victor? Or will one of the other eight finalists be the last player standing? Join us tomorrow at 2:00pm PDT as the final nine players return to battle for a coveted WSOP bracelet, their place in history, and $573,734.
As always, official chip counts and seating assignments will be posted as soon as they become available.

Signore eventually slid out 90,000 total and Saha looked sincerely curious. He considered his options for the better part of two minutes and then announced "all in." Signore snap called and the players showed:
