Will Katchalov Get His Second Bracelet?
Welcome back to the Rio! Today we are bringing you another final table as we are looking to complete Event #41: $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout.
Two days ago, we started with 538 hopefuls, and now, only 10 remain. The biggest name still left is easily Eugene Katchalov. Katchalov was already a huge name coming into this World Series, but he cemented his growing leagacy with a win earlier this year in Event #5: $1,500 Seven Card Stud. Today he is trying to become the first 2-time winner of the 2011 WSOP.
It won't be easy though. Also at this final table are Jordan Rich and Ari Engel, and a few other players who have proved they aren't flukes by getting through not one but two tables in the past two days.
Every player will start with 450,000 in chips, and the goal is to have a winner by the end of the day. If we aren't done by the end of 10 levels, then the players will likely come back tomorrow to determine a winner. Cards will be in the air in about 30 minutes, and we will bring you all of the action from today's exiciting final table. Thanks for tuning in to Pokernews, and enjoy!
