Welcome back everyone! It has been an exciting two days here at the WSOP-C Main Event Harrah's Rincon, and only 11 players have survived to see today. And what a field we have left. Joe Kuether (1.017 million) and Ty Spires (896,000) are still in, both looking for their second Main Event final table in three months. We also have Brandon Cantu (335,000), and LA pro David Funkhauser (528,000). However, everyone will be watching our chip leader Freddy Deeb (1.1 million) today, who is looking to make history.
No one, in the history of the WSOP Circuit, has won two main events in the same season. Not only does Deeb have the chance to do that, he has the chance to win his second main event in just three months! He won the main event at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles in January, a tournament where he registered on day 2, and went from 20 big blinds to every chip in the tournament!
The players will be filing in in about 30 minutes, and start unbagging their chips. Play will get back underway at noon, and we will play all the way down to a winner today. Will history be made here at Harrah's Rincon? Stay tuned to Pokernews to find out!
