32 players entered the Super High Roller event, and now only eight remain.
Here are the chip counts heading into Saturday’s final table:
Galen Hall - 1,748,000
Jonathan Duhamel - 1,336,000
Daniel Negreanu - 1,230,000
Viktor Blom - 1,228,000
Dan Shak - 1,199,000
Scott Seiver - 556,000
Mike McDonald - 360,000
Humberto Brenes - 343,000
Three of these players will walk away very disappointed on Saturday, as the top five spots pay out. The winner of the event will take home $1,254,400, while the runner-up will receive $846,700.
There are a number of interesting stories heading into the final table, including:
-can Jonathan Duhamel rebound from his home invasion nightmare last month to take down this tournament?
-can Daniel Negreanu take down this tournament after finishing in second place last year?
-can Viktor “Isildur1” Blom take down the first major “live” tournament of his career?
Thanks to Daniel Negreanu and Viktor Blom, many eyes will be on this final table tomorrow.
