A field of 357 has been reduced down to just nine hopefuls here at the 2019 WSOPC Horseshoe Southern Indiana $1,700 Main Event, all seeking to bring down the $117,322 top prize, as well as the coveted WSOPC gold ring and a seat into the 2020 WSOPC Global Championship.

Nick Pupillo, who earned his third WSOPC ring two weeks ago at WSOPC Potawatomi Hotel and Casino in Event #1: $400 No-Limit Hold'em, sits in second with 2,200,000, and Thomas Alcorn (1,415,000) and three-time WSOPC ring winner John Gallaher (1,380,000) round out the millionaires club.
