There were 2,191 players to start Event #36: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold'em and now just two remain. The tournament was originally scheduled for three days of play, but everyone was having so much fun that they decided to add one more.
Robert Beach is coming back with a massive chip lead and will be looking to end the day in a timely fashion. Beach came into Day 3 with just nine big blinds and managed to secure the chip lead by night's end, including to start heads-up play versus Farhintaj Bonyadi.
| Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|
| Robert Beach | United States | 9,010,000 |
| Farhintaj Bonyadi | United States | 1,975,000 |
The two played heads-up for one level, before deciding to bag up and come back to complete the tournament today. The winner will be walking away with $311,451 and the runner-up will earn a nice consolation prize of $192,397.
The action will start at 11 a.m. and the blinds will be resuming at 50,000/100,000 with a 10,000 ante. The levels will be 60 minutes in duration, with a 15-minute break coming at the end of every two levels. The tournament will play down until a victor is crowned and a WSOP bracelet has been won.
