Break Time; Level 15 Concludes, Now Just 10 From the Money
With Level 15 officially in the books, players are now on a 20-minute break. The day began with just 53 minutes on the clock and the field is now closer to the money than ever. The clock currently reads that 703 players remain with the top 693 players guaranteed a cash.
This level saw the final WSOP Main Event champion left fall from play. Huck Seed was eliminated at the hands of Dan Smith, meaning there will be a brand new WSOP Main Event champion this year.
Phil Ivey also saw his chip stack grow this level, busting Robert Gaudio at the ESPN feature table.
Speaking of Ivey, our very own Remko Rinkema recently caught up with Dustin Iannotti to talk about picking Ivey's online screen name in the latest edition of Ivey Stories. Check it out below.
