Some exciting players left with only 20 remaining,I love seeing the experienced players such as Merson and Sands competing against the new breed of poker players.Artur Koren is playing well and should do well this year.

The tournament finished and it was won by an American called Michael Wang,no idea who it is but he is a cool half million dollars richer today.Greg Merson came 4th with Koren in 3rd.Carl westcott was 12th.
