Welcome back to the Rio for the Final Table of Event 20 - $1,500 No Limit Holdem.

633 players took the felt three days ago, and now only nine remain to battle it out for the $194,434 first prize, a coveted gold bracelet, and title of Champion.

John-Paul Kelly is leading the charge with 627,000 in chips and is closely trailed by Jason Dewitt (476,000) and Kyle Carlston (320,000).

However it is eight-time bracelet holder Erik Seidel that most will fear with his many years of experience and 337,000 in chips.

With play due to start in under twenty minutes time, make sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live coverage of every rivered flush, turned straight and flopped set.
