Salas Still In Contention with 35 Players Heading to Day 7 of the 2022 WSOP Main Event

Damian Salas

Heading into one of the most exciting days at the 2022 World Series of Poker, there will be 35 players returning to their seats for Day 7 of Event #70: $10,000 Main Event No-Limit Hold'em World Championship. The cards are scheduled to go in the air at 2 p.m. local time and by the night's end, they will dim the lights on the official final table of the grandest tournament in the world.

One player that is all too familiar with this setting is none other than 2020 WSOP Main Event champion Damian Salas. While 2020 was a different year and many recognize his win with an asterisk, Salas is out to prove that he belongs in the history books. The Argentinian also made the final table in 2017 where he bowed out in seventh place for just over $1.4 million.

Salas will enter the day with a mere 5,800,000 chips, good enough for just under 20 big blinds. Even though he may be an underdog to make the final table at this point, Salas knows that anything is possible and there is nobody else that wants it more than he does.

He will be forced to contend with chip leader Jeffrey Farnes on his right when the day begins. Farnes had an incredible last level on Day 6 and will be returning to a stack of 37,825,000 chips. A couple of the other big stacks heading into the final day before the final table include Brian Kim (33,875,000), Philippe Souki (32,475,000), Karim Rebei (31,475,000), and Espen Jorstad (31,175,000) as the only players over 100 big blinds.

There will also be eyes on the last woman standing in the field, Efthymia Litsou. She is making a historic run and just might get her wish if she is able to make it all the way to the end. She bagged up a stack of 15,600,000 after Day 6 and said in her post-game interview that she wished more women played the game. A win for her, or even a final table appearance, should go a long way toward bringing more women to the game loved by millions around the world.

As mentioned above, the action is scheduled to resume at 2 p.m. local time with blinds resuming on Level 32. The blinds will be 150,000/300,000 with a 300,000 big blind ante. There will continue to be a 20-minute break after every two-hour level and a 75-minute dinner break after the third level of the day. There is no time frame for the length of the day; all that matters is reaching the final nine players.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be here every step of the way to bring you intense coverage of how the day unfolds so keep it tuned in here to find out who will be making the final table of the 2022 WSOP Main Event.
