The announcer is reading the bios for all six players. Men Nguyen stopped to correct her that today will mark his 68th cash. Only Phil Hellmuth has more with 76 cashes.
Nguyen won a bracelet two weeks ago in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship, earning just under $400,000 for his seventh career bracelet. He'd love to be the first double bracelet winner of the series. A win would also put him in first place in the WSOP Player of the Year race. With a runner-up finish, he'd make it a three-way tie between himself, Michael Mizrachi, and James Dempsey.
Cards are finally in the air at the final table with 24 minutes left on the clock in Level 24. Blinds are at 15,000/30,000 with a 4,000 ante.

board missed both players, and Radoja took the pot with his ace. "Good game guys," McFarland said on his way out.
"You're the best player I've played all tournament," acknowledged Lindgren.
With McFarland's exit, we're down to the official final table. The last six players remaining bagged up their chips and are currently moving to the main final table stage. They'll play out the remainder of the level before taking an hour-long dinner break.
