Welcome to the final day of Event #46: 5,000 6-Handed No Limit Hold'em. The final five players will arrive shortly to Bally's and Paris Las Vegas where they will battle it out at 2:00 p.m. for the grand prize of $771,765 and to be crowned the latest WSOP gold bracelet winner.

Leading the way in chips is American, Stephen Song. Song has one WSOP bracelet from the 2019 WSOP in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event and will be looking to add another one to his collection. With over half of the chips in play, he has a good shot to take the title.

After a long three day grind, his opponents will definitely not make it easy on him as they face off today and try to take the chip lead from Song to pave their own way to victory. The remaining four players at the final table, Tamer Alkamli (8,710,000), Jonathan Pastore (5,959,000), Elio Fox (5,635,000) and Paraskevas Tsokaridis (2,590,000) are very much still in it and a few double ups could have anyone of them taking down the title.

Play will resume in Level 30, with 25 minutes left on the clock and blinds at 100,000/200,000, from the main stage in Bally's Convention Center. The stream will be available for viewing through YouTube live stream on the PokerGO channel, on a one-hour delay.
