WSOP Main Event Update

The bubble has burst at the WSOP day 3 and everyone left are officially in the money. But this is only day 3 of the huge event and there is still another 6 days of scheduled play left before we know who has made the final table.

There are just 474 players left out of the 6844 players that entered the event. Currently in the lead is American Jeremy Joseph who currently has a chip count of 1,470,000, he is just ahead of American Jermiah Smith (1,300,000) and Canadian Owen Crowe (1,000,000). However with some 68 million chips in play, there is an awful long way to go in this tournament.

The top 666 players made the money, the person who came 667^th was American Steve Chung who's tournament ended when his pocket 8s ran into pocket Kings. Although Steve is the official bubble, he was handed entry into next year's WSOP main event so he doesn't go away totally empty-handed.

There are some huge names still left in the event and none bigger than Phil Hellmuth Jnr who is on 490,000 chips who although being less than half the stack of the chip leader is still well above the average of stack which is 288,796.

Hellmuth of course is the leading bracelet winner in WSOP history with 11 to his name and he has also won the main event title before in 1989. He will be looking to see if he can match what he did nearly 20 years ago and win the greatest prize in poker.

So even though the event has a huge amount of mileage to go who has a chance of making the final table?

Well American Adam Levy is a person who could be a champion in the making, Adam with this money finish has had 5 cashes in this year's WSOP and although not making a final table yet, is surely over due on that. Take into account that all his cashes have been in No-Limit Hold'em it shows that he certainly has an ability in the game and had some success as well, so watch out for him.
