Thirty-six runners returned to the Rio today with one goal in mind; make the final table.
Among the players were marquee pros like Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Dario Minieri and John Duthie. But at the end of the day, it was the relatively unknowns who made their mark.
Stuart Rutter, Neil Channing, Nicolas Levi, Brent "bhanks11" Hanks, Josh Tieman and Joe Elpayaa were the best players at their tables today. Their reward? A seat at tomorrow's final table and a guaranteed $71,998.
One of these six players will capture $441,692 and their first World Series of Poker bracelet.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will continue to follow all the action, and to find out who wins the gold and the cash check back in tomorrow starting at 2:30 p.m. Vegas time!
