Final Table Set
In a double knockout, Rebecca Campbell (pictured) is eliminated in 10th place and Mark Holmes in ninth, and the eight remaining players are suddenly seated around the final table for Event #3. Here's the lineup:
Seat 1: Jason Bullock - 553,000
Seat 2: Randy Andrews - 508,000
Seat 3: Scott Adams - 960,000
Seat 4: Ryan Pinell - 107,000
Seat 5: Benjamin Salpietra - 268,000
Seat 6: Mark Pertgen - 159,000
Seat 7: Wayne Lovell - 244,000
Seat 8: Austin Peck - 405,000
It's quite an accomplished group that's gathered.
Bullock is appearing at his sixth final table of the Circuit season, and he's likely secured his Global Casino Championship seat with this deep run after entering the day with 145 points. Peck is a ring winner who started the day with 120 points, so a couple more eliminations would likely get him over the hump, as well. Lovell himself won a ring in this building in 2014, and Andrews is fresh off a victory in the big Seniors Event at Choctaw earlier this year.
Blinds are 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante in the current level, putting the average stack just under 35 big blinds. Everyone left is guaranteed to earn at least $2,626, with a ring and a top prize of more than 10 times that amount reserved for the winner.
