Seat 6: Igor Kurganov (Russia) - 8,500,000
Igor Kurganov has already assured himself the largest WSOP cash of his career and will now set his sights on the largest cash of his career to date, and the prospect of a second WSOP gold bracelet.
Despite only 11 WSOP cashes dating back to 2013, Kurganov has already bagged himself four six-figure cashes, including WSOP bracelet and WSOP circuit ring victories. Can he secure yet another huge result and the biggest score of his career?

Seat 5: Dominik Nitsche (Germany) - 9,850,000
The 28-year-old German Dominik Nitsche has over $18 million in lifetime earnings, over $7.5 million of which have arrived courtesy of the World Series of Poker, just one reason why he was hailed as one of the Top 50 players in WSOP history earlier in the Series.
The four-time bracelet winner hasn't won a Vegas bracelet since 2014, however, which was when he took down a $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Event and the National Championship in the same year. Since then he has won the €111,111 High Roller for One Drop in Rozvadov for €3,487,463 and will be looking for another seven-figure score to cap off his summer.

Seat 4: Brandon Adams (United States) - 12,375,000
The Day 1 chip leader Brandon Adams is still in with a shot of the bracelet and over $2m in first prize money after winning his first bracelet in Event #74: $3,200 WSOP.com ONLINE No-Limit Hold’em High Roller for $411,560.70.
Adams also added a fourth-place finish in the $50,000 Final Fifty High Roller for $ 500,282 to bring his earnings for the summer to within a whisker of $1m. Now assured of that feat, he'll be eyeing a second bracelet of the summer and the $2m+ top prize.

Seat 3: Daniel Negreanu (Canada) - 3,150,000
Despite coming into the final table as the short stack, former all-time money list leader Daniel Negreanu will enter the arena full of confidence. By cashing this event, he brings his tally of cashes to 15. This marks his best return since 2017 when he recorded 11.
The two-time WSOP Player of the Year (2004 & 2013) will be gunning for bracelet number six when play resumes.

Seat 2: Nick Schulman (United States) - 11,650,000
After bagging his third WSOP bracelet in Event #65: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship, Schulman took his lifetime earnings to within touching distance of $12 million.
Now having surpassed that mark, Schulman is looking to join the likes of Fedor Holz (5), Justin Bonomo (4) and fellow final tablist Daniel Negreanu (2) in having multiple $2+ million cashes on their poker resume.

Seat 1: Keith Tilston - United States (14,475,000)
The biggest of Keith Tilston's nine WSOP cashes came less than a week ago in Event #90: $50,000 Final Fifty when he cashed in sixth place for $275,874.
The high stakes regular has over $3.6m in lifetime earnings with ten six-figure cashes stretching back to 2006 but will be looking for his first bracelet when play resumes.
He shot to the top of the chip counts in the very last hand of Day 2 when he cracked the pocket aces of Sergi Reixach with kings, when another king came on both the turn and the river. Those quads saw him put almost 60 big blinds in the bag for Day 3.

Schulman & Adams Eye Second Bracelets of Summer in $100K High Roller
One player won their first bracelet playing on their mobile phone in the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino cash game area. The other won their third at the final table of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship. Both are in with a chance of winning their second WSOP gold bracelets of the summer with six left in Event #83: $100,000 High Roller.
Both Brandon Adams and Nick Schulman find themselves well-positioned behind current chip leader Keith Tilston when play resumes six-handed at midday.
Rounding out the final table is Dominik Nitsche, Igor Kurganov and a certain Daniel Negreanu who despite coming into the final table as the short stack with just 13 big blinds, will see this is a real opportunity for bracelet number seven and his first in Las Vegas for 11 years.
Here's how the final six players are seated:
