Defending Champion Kristopher Bradshaw Drawing Live with Seven Left
Defending champion Kristopher Bradshaw
The nine-handed final table came and went and the 100-player starting field in Event #9 ($1,125 no-limit hold'em) is down to the final seven following 18 levels of play. Leading the way is John Defersio, but it's defending champion Kristopher Bradshaw who headlines the late stages of play.
Last year, Bradshaw bested 95 players propelling him to $28,000 score and, eventually, the property's Casino Championship title. His road to victory this time around is a tough one as the likes of Mark Fisher, Orlando Romero and John Vale are still in contention.
Seven-handed seating assignments and chip counts:
Seat 1: Anthony Ruberto - 232,000
Seat 2: Orlando Romero - 74,000
Seat 3: Kristopher Bradshaw - 150,000
Seat 4: John DePersio - 420,000
Seat 5: John Vale - 226,000
Seat 6: Michael Newman - 200,000
Seat 7: Mark Fisher 189,000
Cards are back in the air following the last break of the night with blinds of 3,000/6,000 and a 1,00 ante. The seven remaining players are all assured $4,125.
Day 1 is set to wrap in three more levels and up-to-date results as well as complete end-of-night chip counts will be posted at that time.
