Final Table Set

[user80015]

It has taken just under half a day of poker to see the starting 87 players whittled down to the final table.

Perry Friedman, Paul Darden, Aaron Kanter, Lee Markholt and Phil Hellmuth all made the money, but were unable to bag their chips just one more time.

Brandon Cantu will be leading the charge tomorrow with 1,025,000 in chips, and will be closely followed by Jacqmin Mathieu (552,000) and tournament veteran Lee Watkinson (412,000).

Hofman:

The turn landed the {10-Diamonds}

and river the {Q-Diamonds}

to see McMahan scoop the whole pot and double to over 260,000 as Hofman slips to the tables shortest stack.
