It's Time to Crown a Champion in the PokerStars Festival Chile Main Event!

Amos Ben

The PokerStars Festival Chile $500,000 guaranteed Main Event is down to the final eight players and two-time LAPT high roller champion, Amos Ben, looks to snag another title as he carries his Day 3 chip lead over to this final day. Ben bagged a solid 2,237,000 chips, good for just over a quarter of the chips in play.

There are only two players over the million-chip mark, and with Ben being the first, the second is Chile's Christopher Franco with 1,512,000 chips. Diego Lizana rounds out the top three stacks with 808,000, but the rest of the field is separated by just five to six big blinds, so the race is far from over.

Here is a look at how the final eight players stack up going into the day:

Day 4 begins at 12:00 p.m. ET and will conclude when one player remains, with the $97,360 first-place prize and trophy in hand. All results will be posted under the Payouts tab above. The level restarts at the 5:01 mark in level 23 with the blinds sitting at 12,000/24,000 with a 4,000 ante.

This feature event started with 329 entries and just 109 players advanced to Day 2. From there, play advanced rather quickly and just 32 players remained after seven and a half levels. Finally, Day 3 played down to the final table and just seven more eliminations remain before a winner is crowned.
