Tommy Le looks for bracelet gold in Event #62

Jens Kyllonen leads the way into the fourth and final day of this year's $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha event, with just three players still in the hunt. The Finnish pro has just under half the chips in play with 10,925,000.

In second place, making his second deep run in a high-stakes pot-limit Omaha tournament this year, is Tommy Le with 8,650,000. Le finished third in this year's $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship and is looking to improve on that today.

In third place is Dan "Holla" Smith with 3,425,000, Smith held the chip lead for most of yesterday and is a dangerous foe, despite the short stack.

All three remaining players have already  locked up $487,361 for their efforts. Second place comes with a payday of $696,558 and the winner will walk home with $1,127,035 and the gold bracelet in one of the most prestigious events of the summer.

Action resumes today at 1 p.m local time and will continue until the winner is determined. The players will get a 15-minute break every two levels and a dinner break after the sixth level of play should play extend that far.

The live stream will be shown with a 30-minute delay and all of the live updates will be available here at WSOP.com.
