That's right, our start-of-the-day chip leader, Anthony Vidmer, was the director of the poker-themed High Rollar: The Stu Ungar Story that featured Michael Imperioli as Ungar and was released in 2003. Clearly Vidmer is a poker fan and no doubt looking to follow in his late muse's footsteps by capturing some WSOP gold of his own.
The final table is upon us here at Day 4 of the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event at Harrah's St. Louis. Nearly 700 players put up the $1,600 entrance fee for a chance at the title, a WSOP Main Event seat, a National Championship seat, a shiny gold ring and just over $200,000.
Anthony Vidmer has the chiplead but has Andrew Nguyen just barely edged out. Justin Truesdell is the only other member of the 2 million chip club but Daniel Lowery is knocking on the door with over 1.9 million. Michael Hallen sits at the average chip stack and Shane Smith has just over 1 million. Rounding out the bottom are Dominic Gabaldon, Ramon Martinez and George Miro round out the bottom of the counts.
