Day 4 Started
Good afternoon, and welcome back to the 44th annual World Series of Poker. Two players remain in Event #27: $3,000 No Limit Hold'em (Mixed Max), and with nearly even stacks, Max Steinberg and Isaac Hagerling are in for a tough battle against one another for the bracelet. Steinberg won a bracelet in 2012 and finished runner-up in the 2013 National Championship. Hagerling only has three WSOP cashes to his name and roughly $188,000 in career live tournament earnings, but he's guaranteed at least $231,501 by making the championship match.
