The March to the Final Table Begins Here on Day 4
Welcome to Day 4 of the 2013 World Series of Poker $50,000 Poker Players' Championship. What started with 132 players in now down to the final 26, each looking to make the money at the top 16 and then onward to the final table of eight. Ten players will leave today empty handed, and another six will fall short of the prestige that accompanies a final-table appearance.
The man most likely to make the money and be amongst the final 8 is Don Nguyen, the only player to bag over two million chips last night. Others still in contention with seven-figure stacks are Mike Gorodinsky (1,650,000), Minh Ly (1,458,000), Michael Glick (1,130,000), John Hennigan (1,085,000), David Benyamine (1,052,000), Troy Burkholder (1,047,000) and Jonathan Duhamel (1,038,000).
All of those men are well-positioned to make a deep run, but they'll have to fend of some of the shorter stacks like Matthew Ashton (912,000), Bryn Kenney (906,000), George Danzer (779,000), Huck Seed (690,000), Greg Mueller (555,000), Tommy Hang (450,000), Joe Hachem (425,000), David Bach (346,000), Gary Benson (338,000), Joe Cassidy (299,000), Stephen Chidwick (291,000), Erick Lindgren (165,000), Justin Smith (163,000) and John Juanda (89,000).
Action is set to kick off at 2 p.m. PDT, which is a little less than an hour from now. The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is already set up in the Blue Section of the Amazon Room and will be bringing you all the latest and greatest from the $50,000 Poker Players' Championship all day long. Stay tuned!
