Cy Williams Leads Final 15; Loni Harwood Still in Hunt
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
At the start of the day, 297 players were hoping to set themselves up for a final table run in Event #60 $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em. After 11 levels of play, only 15 still have a shot at obtaining that goal, and the player in prime position to do so is Cy Williams, who bagged up 1.372 million chips. Not far behind is Bijon Notash with 1.255 million, and Daniel Cascado (1.106 million), who just finished runner up in Event #24 earlier this summer.
Along the way to the end of the day, the following players were eliminated: Manig Loeser (269th), Jeremy Ausmus (219th), Bryan Micon (162nd), Rupert Elder (125th), Bill Chen (112th), Lauren Kling (91st), Melanie Weisner (78th), Yuval Bronshtein (44th), and Jeff Madsen (33rd).
We still have a few notables in the hunt for the bracelet, including circuit grinder Hiren Patel (1.099 million), Loni Harwood (669,000) and Ryan Julius (479,000).
The final 15 will return at 1 p.m. tomorrow, and they will play down to a winner by the end of the night. Be sure to come back to PokerNews for all of the live updates, including hand-for-hand coverage of the final table. Until then, good night from Las Vegas!
