Hellmuth and McClelland Headline an Unbelievable Final Table in Event #19: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship
Level 17
The penultimate day of Event #19: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship began the day with 34 players remaining, all looking to lock up a spot at the featured final table and keep their hopes alive for that coveted WSOP gold bracelet and the $182,872 first-place cash prize! After seven 90-minute levels of play we are down to our final seven players!
This Seven Card Stud(ded) final table features 19 WSOP gold bracelets won by four of the final seven players! Of course, WSOP bracelet numbers are a bit skewed when Hellmuth(15x WSOP Winner) is involved, but do not count out the other past bracelet winners Anthony Zinno(2x WSOP Winner), James Chen(1x WSOP Winner) and Stephen Chidwick(1x WSOP Winner) who are each looking to add to their hardware collection. They will all have to also navigate experienced tournament professional Jason Gola, as well as Day 1 chip leader Jose Paz-Gutierrez if they want to earn that bracelet and cash.
