On the side of our notables, we can notice the surprising presence of Phil Ivey, ending a deep run at the 64th. It looks like the 10-bracelets owner might be interested again in the climbing the ranks of greatness. In the legacy category, current “being the greatest” Phil Hellmuth has signed his 6th cash in the series.

Now let’s have a quick look at our other events:

In the Event #34: $1,000 Double Stack No-Limit Hold’em, Joseph Cheong, 3rd in the 2010 Main Event, leads in the final table at 6 left with 40% of the chips.

And we’ll have another very interesting final table in Event #41: $10,000 Seven Card Stud, as it’s no other than Daniel Negreanu that leads the debates at 7 left in the final table, with slightly less than 30% of the total chips. Also present in this final table are Frank Kassela (3rd, 3 bracelets) and John Hennigan (4th, 5 bracelets).

Will Daniel Negreanu grab a 7th bracelet to reach Billy Baxter and Men Nguyen in the all time race? Can’t wait!
