Event #7: $1,500 Dealer’s Choice, featuring 21 different games to choose from, seems built for a player like John Hennigan.

The Poker Hall of Famer known as “Johnny World” is already a mixed-game legend. His six World Series of Poker bracelets have come in four different poker variants, as well as the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. championship and the $50,000 Poker Players Championship. Today inside the Horseshoe Las Vegas Event Center, Hennigan can add to that legacy.

Hennigan enters the event’s third and final day in the middle of the pack among 10 returning players with 1,520,000. He’s looking up at Minnesota sports card shop owner Clint Wolcyn, who is making his first WSOP cash count after bagging up the chip lead with 2,770,000. Brayden Gazlay (2,370,000) and Robert Wells (1,960,000) share the podium with Wolcyn when play begins at 1 p.m. local time.

Viktor Blom is in fourth place with 1,650,000. The online legend better known as “Isildur1” is still looking for his first WSOP bracelet and first-ever final table appearance at the WSOP in Las Vegas. Last time he was this far here was 12 years ago when he finished 14th in the PPC.

Shaun Deeb was riding high near the top of the chip counts during the last level yesterday but had a late swoon to fall down to 585,000. He and Hennigan can become only the ninth players in WSOP history with seven bracelets with a victory today. Deeb and Hennigan are also the last two remaining $25K Fantasy players, and a win today will be worth 55 points for either of them.

The rest of the field is rounded out by Ryan Pedigo (910,000), Lawrence Brandt (805,000), Venkata Tayi (505,000), and Peter Gelencser (170,000).

Everyone left is guaranteed $8,823 for making it this far out of a record-setting field of 530, while a spot at the six-handed final table is worth $20,665. The eventual champion takes home $138,296 and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.

Stay tuned to PokerNews throughout the day for all the live updates until a new mixed game champion is crowned.
