Play Concludes For the Evening

The action today was fast and furious and the final table aspirations of some 156 players were lost in the chaos. We started the day with 165 players, all with their sights set on making their mark on the poker world. After almost nine full levels of play, only nine remain.

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.
