Pillon Leads While Melanson Goes For Back to Back on Final Day of Main Event

The final day of the 2024 World Series of Poker Circuit Playground Main Event is here and just like the other days of this tournament, it gets started at 11 a.m. There are 20 players left remaining who are all still alive for the $350,000 grand prize.

Leading the final 20 is James Pillon of Windsow, ON. He enters as chip leader and is in a good spot to record his best ever live poker cash. With his current best score at $75,000 (CAD), a sixth place finish would tie that while any spot fifth or higher would become his best cash.

The second biggest stack, Jishant Sapra also has a great chance to record his best career cash if he were to make the final table.

The next two stacks are riddled with experience as Duff Charette has over $1.6 million in career earnings and is seeking his second WSOP circuit ring after having collected his first one back in 2016 in Calgary. While Tommy Nguyen has $2.3 million in earnings and a WSOP bracelet to his name.

The shortest stack to start the day is Dustin Melanson, who is going for an improbable back-to-back double as he took down this very same every in April. He will need a spin up in order to be able to pull off that incredible feat.

Play will begin at Level 28 with blinds at 50,000/100,000 and it will continue all the way down until there is a winner.
