The stage is set for the final day of action at the WSOP Circuit Planet Hollywood. Although the title of Casino Champion has already been locked up by Arkadiy Tsinis, there's another crown to be handed out today.
The $1,675 Main Event played from 845 entries down to 12 players over the last few days, and they'll return this afternoon to decide a winner.
Thanks to a huge pot late in Day 2, Fernando Galvan carries the chip lead into today's finale. Galvan starts the day with 85 big blinds, but he's not the only one who's deep.
Here's the remaining lineup:
Fernando Galvan - 2,555,000 (85 bb)
Sunny Gandham - 2,055,000 (69 bb)
Christoper Tham - 1,910,000 (64 bb)
Marcin Milde - 1,590,000 (53 bb)
Ali Imsirovic - 1,495,000 (50 bb)
Mark Ioli - 1,420,000 (47 bb)
Bruce Kramer - 1,335,000 (45 bb)
Melanie Banfield - 1,325,000 (44 bb)
Danny Elmore - 1,290,000 (43 bb)
Neil Scott - 1,040,000 (35 bb)
Roger Franco - 615,000 (21 bb)
Corey Hochman - 235,000 (8 bb)
Marcin Milde and Neil Scott each won their first rings here at Planet Hollywood earlier this week, and both are in contention to add another big one this evening.
They and the others are all chasing Galvan, but there's a lot left to be decided. The average stack is close to 50 big blinds, meaning there's plenty of play left at the table.
Everyone left is guaranteed to earn at least $18,924, but they're playing for a huge top prize of $247,160. Cards go in the air at noon.
