Racing to the Finish - Maybe
Welcome back to the Rio for Day 3 of Event #23: $2,500 Eight-Game Mix!
Yesterday, 210 players returned on Day 2 with hopes of cashing and dreams of making a run at a gold bracelet. Only 25 survived the day, including our chip leader John Racener (363,600), who is looking for his first WSOP gold bracelet. Mayu Roca Uribe (327,100), Adam Geyer (278,800), Adam Kornuth (241,00), and Michele Limongi (237,800) are right on his heels however, and they too are all looking for bracelet number one.
There are a few of bracelet winner remaining including Eric Buchman (203,400) and John Juanda (187,000). Both players have already made a final table at the 2011 World Series of Poker, and Juanda is looking to win two bracelets in less than a week.
The plan is to play until a champion is crowned, unless of course we complete ten levels. Then we will return for a Day 4 tomorrow to complete the tournament. The cards will be in the air in roughly a half hour, we'll see you then!
