At 5:30 p.m. local time, the biggest day in the life of Tony Miles, John Cynn and Michael Dyer will commence as one of these three players will be the World Series of Poker Main Event champion after today. The biggest prize on the grandest stage of them all is up for grabs tonight, and the first place prize of $8,800,000, the coveted WSOP Main Event bracelet and a place in the history books awaits the last man standing at the end of the night.

The final table has already clocked 224 hands over the course of two days. On the first final table day, Antoine Labat, Artem Metalidi and Alex Lynskey bowed up to dwindle the number of hopefuls to six. On the second day, Aram Zobian's dream of winnings the Main Event ended just five hands in. Zobian started the day as the short stack and open-shoved eight-six suited from the small blind. Dyer called with ace-eight in the big blind and held up to eliminate Zobian in 6th place ($1,800,000).

Joe Cada's attempt to achieve one of the ultimate feats in poker — a repeat Main Event win — ended in 5th place ($2,150,000). Holding pocket tens, Cada four-bet shoved 47 million in chips and Miles called it off with ace-king after seven minutes. The king landed on the flop to end Cada's bid in hand #105.

The four remaining players battled it out for more than 100 hands before Nic Manion finally bowed out in 4th place ($2,825,000). Manion three-bet shoved ace-ten over a raise from Cynn, who instantly called with pocket kings. The kings held up to send Manion to the payout desk and end the day on the spot.

There are 51 minutes and 10 seconds remaining in Level 40 as cards will be back in the Amazon room of the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Miles will start on the button and holds the substantial chip lead with 238,900,000 in chips (149 big blinds). Miles' rowdy rail will no doubt be back to cheer their champion on.

John Cynn sits second in chips with 128,700,000 in chips, a solid 80 big blinds when play will resume. Rounding out the final three is Michael Dyer, who started Day 9 as the overwhelming chipleader but will just return with 26,200,000 in chips, 16 big blinds. Each of them has already locked up the payday of a lifetime with at least $3,750,000 for their efforts.
