Ivan Schertzer during the Event 6 final table

Ivan Schertzer is still in the field, and continuing his good form.

After collecting $64,297 for his sixth place finish in Event 6 - $10,000 World Championship Seven Card Stud, Schertzer will be hoping to add another series cash in this event.

With now two 7 Card Stud final tables on his poker CV following Thursday's one and one back in 2006, Schertzer has a chance to replicate his feats as he currently sits on 21,000 in chips.
