From a starting field of 360 players just two days ago, only nine players remain to play for this World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Each one of the nine is guaranteed $7,706 for their efforts, but all eyes are on the first place prize of $110,800.
Leading the way is mixed game specialist John Monnette who comes into today with 1,985,000. Monnette WSOP mixed game victory dates all the way back to 2011, where he won the $2,500 8 Game. Just one year later he won his first stud bracelet in the $5,000 Seven Card Stud. Now he has his eyes set on his second stud bracelet and fifth overall bracelet.
Shaun Deeb (675,000) will be looking for his sixth bracelet and second stud bracelet as well, while Nick Schulman (1,375,000) will be eyeing his first stud bracelet and fourth overall. The rest of the field; Hojeong Lee (1,140,000), Tab Thiptinnakon (1,135,000), DJ Buckley (880,000), Andrew Hasdal (770,000), Bruce Levitt (665,000), and Tim Frazin (430,000) all look to snag their first bracelet and join the list of WSOP bracelet winners.
