Ten Players Remaining in the $580
The field is down to the final 10 players in Event #11: $580 No-Limit Hold'em. There are three players remaining that are still in contention to win the Casino Championship: Eric Rivkin, Kenny Nguyen and Scott Moses.
Josh Reichard busted earlier today in the Main Event and is current leader in the Casino Championship with 77.5 points. Series tournament earnings serves as the tiebreaker. Rivkin will have that advantage over Reichard because of his $44k cash in the High Roller event, so he only needs to get to 77.5 points to pass Reichard. Nguyen also has the tiebreaker over Reichard. Moses does not and will need to get over 77.5 points to pass Reichard in the standings.
Current points:
Kenny Nguyen: 52.5 points
Eric Rivkin: 37.5 points
Scott Moses: 35 points
Here is how many points the players will earn for their finishing position:
1st: 50 points
2nd: 37.5
3rd: 30
4th: 27.5
5th: 25
6th: 22.5
7th: 20
8th: 17.5
9th:15
10th: 10
Nguyen needs at least a 5th place finish to pass Reichard. Rivkin and Moses need to win the event to pass Reichard.
Note: Event #12 registration is still open. The event will finish late tonight and could impact the Casino Championship race.
