It is time for the final day of the WSOPc IP Biloxi Main Event where a ring winner will be determined out of a final five and a grand prize of $98,044 will be handed out.

It is a loaded field as four of the five players left have already won a WSOP circuit ring in their career.

7Jeremy Eyer2,225,00045Gulfport, MS5th

Jeremy Eyer, a Gulport local, who comes in as chip leader won his circuit ring earlier this year in Tunica for $19,603. He has already secured his largest WSOP cash of his career as his previous largest was for $21,750 in the 2018 WSOP main event.

Brett Apter won his circuit ring earlier this year in Potawatomi for $16,356. Apter is also the owner of a WSOP bracelet, that he won this summer in a $1,500 Shootout event which is by far his largest WSOP cash of his career. A win today would make for the second largest of his career and the largest on the circuit.

Ben Thomas is looking to bring home another ciruit ring from Biloxi as he won his previous ring in IP Biloxi in 2018. His largest score of his WSOPc career thus far was for $42,687, so any finish third or better would secure his biggest score of his career.

Hamid Izadi70193$444,321
Boris Kasabov54130$261,290
Jeremy Eyer1321$42,425

Hamid Izadi is the owner of three circuit rings, two of them coming in 2019, one in Coconut Creek and one in Hammond Horseshoe. A win today would create for Izadi’s largest score of his WSOPc career, the previous largest being for $82,626.

Boris Kasabov, the short stack, is the only player remaining who does not own a circuit ring. He will be looking to finish the job this time around as he has a handful of 2nd and 3rd place finishes on his WSOPc resume.

The table dynamics will be interesting with the first level being critical, as Eyer and Apter lead the field and are neck in neck with each other with only two big blinds separating their stacks. Thomas and Izadi are some distance behind and are very close to one another for third place, while Kasabov is the clear short stack, but could easily catch up to the group with a few pots.

Play will begin at 12 p.m. local time and will not finish until a winner is crowned. As per usual, PokerNews will provide all the coverage
