789 players remain …
Saturday 12pm and there are 789 players remaining, including 4 South Africans. Warren Zackey – 353,000 (apologies for previous mis-reporting); Ryan Brauer – 152,000; Mel Banfield – 68,000 and Kinesh Pathe – 38,000.
141 of these players will go home with only the pride of having got through to Day 4 of the World Series of Poker … no simple feat. The rest will have a minimum of $21,365 in their pockets and the distinction of having cashed in the biggest poker tournament in the world, there are also 9 millionaires-in-waiting in this room, what a surreal thought!
The chip leader is Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier who has more than 1 million chips – the only player with this kind of chip stack.
Shuffle up & deal … cards are in the air … all the best players!
