Joe McKeehen arrived in the eighth level of the day and has busted within a very short time frame as he is already out the door. That means we are getting a new champion for this event and the chance of a repeat champion is out of question.

Jerid "JZ Scrilla" Zewin has been hovering around the 50,000 starting stack for much of the night but he has stayed patient. That patience is paying off and Zewin is starting to climb the chip counts. He recently raked in a few pots and he's chipped up to 80,000.
Zewin already notched one WSOP cash this series with a deep run in the $1,000 No Limit Hold'em - Double Stack (Event #34) and will look to add another WSOP cash to his poker resume here in the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship.
