Welcome back to the Amazon Room for our third and final day of this Pot-Limit Hold’em event, where just 10 players out of a starting field of 765 will be vying for the title of “WSOP Champion” and the $227,232 first-place prize that goes with it.
Yesterday’s action saw more pros and notables fall, including WSOP Main Event runner-up John Racener and defending champion James Dempsey, who claimed the unfortunate title of bubble boy.
