Some Jewelry For The Champ

Every WSOP Circuit stop schedule has the Monster Stack on it and no matter where you're at, it's a bright spot that players mark their calendars for, but here at Harrah's Cherokee, the name "Monster Stack" doesn't just refer to the big stack you start the day with.

It's morphed into a guarantee of both field size and top payout as well as here in Cherokee, North Carolina, the Monster Stack is always just that; an absolute monster on all measurable fronts.

This rendition is no different after 3,223 total entries came together to build a prize pool worth $1,063,590, a massive number well over double the guarantee (par for the course here at Harrah's Cherokee).

When the last man or woman standing finally drags in all the chips after the final hand, they'll secure a coveted WSOP Circuit ring, a seat to the 2025 WSOP Tournament of Champions and a gargantuan payday worth $127,590.

There's a number of killers left in this field who look to be that find themselves at the summit, too. 

Six-time ring winner, Marshall White will be in the hunt after coming back to a top 5 stack as will Hamid Izadi, Richard Ali, Jennifer Zewe and Maurice Hawkins.

Zewe will be after ring number three while Izadi and Hawkins chase rings number nine and 15, respectively.

But they'll all be looking up at one player to start the day as Brandon Kelly bagged a million more chips than any player in all three flights.

Kelly, unlike the aforementioned players, will be chasing his first ring and to get it in a marquee event with a six-figure payday would assuredly be a dream come true for him.

Play will get underway with 22:01 remaining in Level 22 (15,000/30,000/30,000) and they'll play 30-minute levels through the completion of Level 24, with levels bumping up to 45 minutes with the start of Level 25.

Play will continue until a champion has been crowned, so stay tuned to PokerOrg's Instant Live feed to stay up to date with everything happening live from the tournament floor here at Harrah's Cherokee.
