Nicolas Manion has the chip lead with 112.7 million heading into the final table. Second place Michael Dyer is right behind him with 109 million. After the top 2 stacks there is a substantial drop off as 3rd place Tony Miles sits at 42 million chips. Joe Cada, the 2009 main event champion survived once again and will have 23 million chips when play resumes tomorrow. He will try to become the first repeat champion of the main event since Stu Ungar won back in 1997.
The last hand of the night was one to remember. Nicolas Manion picked up pocket aces and ran into two players who both had pocket Kings. The Aces held but Antoine Labat had both players covered while Yuegi Zhu busted out in 10th place collecting just over $850,000 for his efforts. Each Final Table participant is guaranteed at least a $1 million payday. Play will resume tomorrow and coverage of the event can be found on the pokergo app or on ESPN.
