Manza Leads into Final Day; Pham, Hinkle and Clements in Contention

Welcome back to the Rio as we play down to a champion here in Event 38: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em at the 2012 World Series of Poker. Who will be the champion? Well, that’s what you’re here to find and we can tell you that regardless of who takes home the victory, it’s going to be a great day of poker.

Of the 21 players who will arrive to the table today, it is Jeffrey Manza who starts with the largest chip stack. Manza’s 1,302,000 in chips is only almost matched by Dung Nguyen’s 1,273,000, while the next closest player is Matthew Pierce with 804,000.

Also joining these big chip stacks at the felt are Scott Clements, Blair Hinkle and David Pham. All of these players have proven themselves on the big stage of the WSOP before, and will be looking to add another bracelet to their trophy cabinets.

Of course, there can only be one winner though and if one of the above players wants to come away with the “w”, they will need to get through the likes of Zachary Korik, Michael Borovitz, Blake Cahail and Jesse Wilke.

There will be no better way to find out who becomes our newest champion than getting all the live updates from PokerNews, so strap yourselves in and get ready for some poker. It all begins at 1:00 PM, don't miss it!
