Let's Find A Limit Champion!

If you're a fan of limit hold'em, you've come to the right place! We're back inside the Amazon Room and ready for action in the final day of Event #23, the $2,500 Limit Hold'em slugfest.

Our starting field of 384 has been reduced to just twelve after two days of poker, but that's still eleven too many to fit on the winner's podium. We've got one day left to play our way down to a winner and give one of these players a shiny gold bracelet and a check for almost a quarter-million dollars.

Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri has come close before, but he's still looking for his first piece of WSOP hardware. He'll be the betting favorite on this final day, coming in as one of the most experienced players in the field and working with the biggest stack of 415,000 chips. It's easier said than done for Sugar Bear though, as danger lurks behind him in the pack of hungry chasers.

We've got JJ Liu in the mix still, and she's already got one WSOP final table under her belt this year. Liu is a force to be reckoned with in all the games, and her impressive stat sheet shows almost 15 years of WSOP success. She's looking for her first bracelet as well, and she'll start with an eigth-place stack of 182,000.

Dutch Boyd is no stranger to WSOP success either, and he'll be working to make a run at bracelet number two today. Notably, his first bracelet came in a six-handed hold'em event a couple years ago. Boyd is always a threat to make a final-table run, and he begins the day in fourth place with 349,000 chips.

Our twelve players are scheduled for a 3:00 p.m. start, and we see no hitches in that plan. The chip bags are already out on the tables here in the Orange section of the room, and the two dealers are busy suiting and checking their decks in preparation for a full day of poker.

Don't wander away on us; we'll be back in just a few minutes with the shuffle up and deal.
