S.J. Van Dalsen Still in the Mix with 27 Remaining
Less than a week ago, S.J. Van Dalsen was doing some serious work in Southern Indiana, winning his first gold ring in the series' penultimate event. During his postgame interview and photo session, he beamed as he mentioned that he'd be attending this stop in Hammond for the duration, having saved up paid vacation time for his annual year-end poker trip.
The run-good seems to have made the trip north with the new ring winner. Van Dalsen was part of the Day 2 restart this afternoon, and he's still in contention as the field shrinks to the final three tables. The remaining players have just returned from a break, and Van Dalsen is currently sitting just below the chip average with about 700,000 chips.
With 27 players left, everyone everyone is now guaranteed to earn at least $3,366.
