It is time for the final day of Event #4: $500 The Reunion No-Limit Hold’em as five players return to the action in the feature Amazon room table to play down to a coveted WSOP Bracelet.
Today is a massive opportunity for all five players as they have all sewn up at least $142,847, already the largest cash for most of the remaining players. Each will be looking to score their first massive result of their poker career.
Leading the returning players today is Long Ma of Chino Hills, CA who collected his massive chip lead in the last few levels of yesterday to amass his stack of 260,100,000 which is good for 87 big blinds.

In second place in the chip counts with 133,900,000 is Giuliano Lentini of New York. Lentini started the final table last night as the short stack but won three big hands to become a force in the counts. He is the only player of the remaining five to have a cash larger than fifth place. However, should be ladder up to a fourth place finish he will secure the largest cash of his poker career.
Alex Vazquez enters the final table in third place with 114,600,000. The Puerto Rican native, held a massive chip lead for much of the final table last night before plateauing to a comfortable third place position. Vazquez has three five-figure poker scores; the largest of which being for $30,230, so this result blows any other result out of the water thus far in his career by some distance.
Right on Vazquez’s heels in fourth place is Max Tavepholjalern of Honolulu, Hawaii. He boasts only seven recorded cashes in his poker career thus far, two of which at the 2019 WSOP for a total of just shy of $3,000.
Michael Eddy of Hollywood, Florida enters the final five as the significant short stack with only 26,000,000 in chips, which is worth nine big blinds. Eddy’s largest cash so far in his career was for just short of $10,000, so once again a player who is living their dream via this deep run in a huge WSOP tournament.
Action will begin at 4 p.m. local time and will be live streamed. Levels will remain at 40 minutes. There will be a 15-minute break every three levels and action will not stop until a winner is crowned. PokerNews will have all the updates as they happen.
