This is a very impressive list of well known players left in and this tournament is going to be extremely difficult to win. Good luck to all those left in because, whoever wins, will have earned it

Half of these guys will still go home with empty pockets, that means a lot of chips will still have to be put on the table to get to the money. Running for a $970k first prize can be great, but getting out of the table without puting the hands on the minimum $31k after spending $15k to enter must be painful. Can't imagine what's going around in all those heads right now...

In the UK we use to be able to watch some of the WPT on the satellite channels but these days we never see much so not many of these names I reccognise. I expect that quite a few have managed to satellite into the game so to come this far and getting closer to a min cash must be nerve wracking,for a recreational player to win $31k would be a great boost to their bankroll.
