Final Table Drawing Near
Twenty-seven players have been eliminated so far this afternoon, leaving the final 12 just two eliminations away from the ten-handed final table. They've just been sent on their second break of the day. When they return, blinds will move to 15,000/30,000 with a 5,000 ante, putting the average stack just under 35 big blinds.
Ring winner DJ MacKinnon is still in the mix, sitting slightly below the chip average. Event #1 runner-up Art Harb needs to finish ninth or better to take the lead in the Casino Champion race, and he has his work cut out for him as one of the shortest stacks in the remaining field.
Play will continue tonight until a winner is determined.
