Final Table Seat Draw
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shannon Shorr | United States | 3,650,000 | 15 |
| 2 | Andrew Lichtenberger | United States | 1,325,000 | 5 |
| 3 | Jake Schindler | United States | 4,650,000 | 19 |
| 4 | Brek Schutten | United States | 10,125,000 | 41 |
| 5 | Punnat Punsri | Thailand | 7,150,000 | 29 |
| 6 | David Peters | United States | 3,425,000 | 14 |
Brek Schutten (10,125,000) is coming into the final day as the chip leader and will be looking to improve upon his fifth-place finish in Event #8: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em only a couple of days ago. If he can turn his lead into a win, it’ll result in his biggest-ever cash and maiden bracelet.
Punnat Punsri (7,150,000) is from Thailand and is relatively new to the scene, yet already has found some success in high roller events. He has already secured his top live cash in this tournament, and is hoping to secure his first piece of WSOP hardware later today.
Jake Schindler (4,650,000) is coming into the day third in chips and, despite numerous high finishes in large buy-in events, he will be looking to earn his first career bracelet. He final tabled the same high roller event as Schutten the other day and nearly emerged victorious, finishing runner-up. Today marks another opportunity.
Shannon Shorr (3,650,000) is another highly accomplished player without a bracelet to his name, but that could change soon. He celebrated an enjoyable 37th birthday yesterday, and today may prove to be one to remember with more celebrating on the agenda.
David Peters (3,425,000) recently won his fourth bracelet in Event #2: $100,000 High Roller Bounty less than a week ago, and is already in contention for a fifth and another seven-figure score.
Andrew Lichtenberger (1,325,000) is the short stack when the action picks back up, but anything can happen as “LuckyChewy” will attempt to accumulate chips and ladder all the way up to his second career bracelet.
Play will resume on Level 21 with blinds at 125,000/250,000 with a 250,000 big blind ante. The average stack heading into the finale is just over 20 big blinds, and levels will continue to be 60 minutes each.
The final table is set to begin soon at 3 p.m. local time and is scheduled to be streamed on delay on the PokerGO platform starting at 4 p.m. Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team returns to bring you updates until a champion is crowned.
