Ten-Handed Final Table
The field has just been reduced to 10 players, and they've drawn for new seats around the final table. Here's the remaining lineup:
Seat 1: Gediminas Uselis - 547,000 (91 bb)
Seat 2: Chad Eveslage - 53,000 (9 bb)
Seat 3: Alan Schein - 240,000 (40 bb)
Seat 4: Houston Baker - 91,000 (15 bb)
Seat 5: Gary Friedman - 32,000 (5 bb)
Seat 6: Joseph Taylor - 140,000 (23 bb)
Seat 7: Peter Vitantonio - 500,000 (83 bb)
Seat 8: Ari Engel - 180,000 (30 bb)
Seat 9: Frank DiMaria - 181,000 (30 bb)
Seat 10: Steve Duncker - 223,000 (37 bb)
Another ring would give Ari Engel nine in his career and move him into a tie with Alex Masek for the all-time lead. He begins the final table in the middle of the pack and slightly below the chip average.
Blinds are 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante in the current level, putting the average stack around 37 big blinds. Everyone left is guaranteed to earn at least $3,013 this evening, with play scheduled to continue for just over two more levels.
