The Seven Card Stud Championship is on the line this afternoon in Las Vegas.
This $10,000-buy-in event drew a field of 87 players, and the final six are set to return to the Amazon Room today to play for the bracelet. Everyone left is guaranteed to earn close to $40,000, but all eyes are on the top prize of $242,662.
Here's the lineup for the start of play:
Seat 1: George Danzer - 340,000
Seat 2: Robert Mizrachi - 1,371,000
Seat 3: Ted Forrest - 447,000
Seat 4: David Benyamine - 373,000
Seat 5: Matt Grapenthien - 1,157,000
Seat 6: Steve Weiss - 682,000
Mizrachi enters Day 3 with the big stack, seeking what would be his fourth gold bracelet. Right behind him is Matt Grapenthien, the 2014 champion of this event, and those two are setting the pace with seven-figure stacks. Weiss, who was the Day 1 chipleader, is the only one of the finalists without a bracelet in his trophy case. The others have a combined 14 between them, led by Forrest and his six. Two of Forrest's bracelets are in this game, and he'll likely be a tough out today despite his middling stack. Benyamine and Danzer, the 2014 WSOP Player of the Year, round out the final table at the bottom of the leaderboard.
Cards go in the air at 2:00 p.m., and action will continue until a winner is determined. Live updates will be published here, and a cards-down live stream will be broadcast on a five-minute delay.
