Two electric days of poker at the Bar Poker Open Florida World Championship have led to this.
Just 40 players remain from the 396 that began the weekend, with Vince Buffone of Brampton, Ontario leading the way with 790,000 chips.
Although Buffone begins the day as the overall chip leader at 11:15 a.m. ET, his 69 big blind stack is far from secure given the rising blinds and shallower stacks depths.
There should be plenty of rapid carnage in the Palm Beach Kennel Club tournament room, as more than half the returning field has less than 20 big blinds, while 8 players come into play with ten or less.
The last player standing will be rewarded with $30,000 for their efforts with the prize pool total coming out to $114,550.
