Final Day of Event #61: COLOSSUS - $400 No Limit Hold'Em Begins at 12 p.m
The fourth and final of Event #61: COLOSSUS - $400 No Limit Hold'em starts today at 12 p.m, and this will be an extra day as the organizers originally planned for this legendary tournament only to be a three-day event. Only eight players remain of the 13,109 total entries, with one champion about to be crowned.
Greek player Georgios Kapalas bagged the chip lead at the end of Day 3 with 105,700,000. He will be up against talented opposition, starting with World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Andrew Barber, who sits a close second with 89,300,000 in chips. Barber has the most WSOP cashes out of the remaining eight players with a total of 48 results and a total of $801,881 in WSOP earnings.
The other six remaining players are Maksim Kalman (85,500,000), Ryan Depaulo (72,400,000), Juan Lopez (56,500,000), Sejin Park (48,400,000), Norson Saho (47,900,000) and Patrick Miller (18,500,000), who goes into play as a pretty drastic short stack. Here's the full line-up.
