Ten-Handed Final Table
From a starting field of 513 entries, just 10 players remain in contention for the Event #1 ring. They're playing for a top prize of $30,814, too, likely the largest payout of the series outside of the Main Event.
Here's the remaining lineup:
Seat 1: Iris Angeleri - 444,000
Seat 2: Tony Bracy - 215,000
Seat 3: George Saca - 428,000
Seat 4: Chris Simone - 426,000
Seat 5: Shane Gonzales - 946,000
Seat 6: Steve Foutty - 595,000
Seat 7: Stephen Bierman - 870,000
Seat 8: Josh Balderson - 305,000
Seat 9: Erle Mankin - 275,000
Seat 10: Victor Paredes - 624,000
Steve Foutty is already a three-time Circuit winner in search of number four. Iris Angeleri has one of her own, too, earning it in 2013 in this same building. Her husband, Robert, just won his own first ring a few days ago, and it's his turn on the rail this afternoon. The rest of the table is playing for what would be their first Circuit victory.
Blinds are 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante, putting the average stack around 32 big blinds. Everyone left is guaranteed to earn at least $2,306.
