Welcome to the third and final day of Event #66; $1,500 Limit Hold'em. Out of a field of 541 players, only 21 competitors will return to the tournament area today and continue to battle it out until a winner is crowned.
Starting the day as a massive chip leader is David "ODB" Baker with 1,275,000. Baker has been having a great summer with eight cashes including a third-place finish in Event # 41: $10,000 Seven Card Stud for $104,416. He will be looking to add another six-figure score to his summer resume and claim the title this time.
He is followed by Ronald Carmona (488,000). Carmona has never cashed at the WSOP and will try to win a bracelet in his first-ever cash. Ruiko Mamiya rounds up the top three with 486,000.
The stakes will be high today as many big names are still in contention as well including WSOP champions Chris Ferguson (361,000), Greg Mueller (262,000), and Daniel Negreanu(206,000). Mueller claimed his third bracelet just a few weeks ago in Event #29: $10,000 Horse and will be looking to win his fourth bracelet.
The remaining players all have $4,360 locked up but all eyes will be on the first place prize of $161,139 as well as the shiny gold bracelet.
The plan today is to play down to a winner, with blinds starting at 12,00/24,000. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 6, at approximately 8:30 p.m.
