Leading the final six is Jared Jaffee with an impressive 2,100,000 in chips, which is almost double the stack of Adams (1,260,000), who is second on the leaderboard to start the day. The other four players to make up the final table are nothing but exceptional poker specialist in Bill Klein (470,000), Jake Schindler (630,000), Jason Koon (755,000), and fan favorite Daniel Negreanu (1,035,000).
Negreanu is sitting third in chips going into the final table and has one of the scariest resumes in the world.
