The Final 9 Ready to Lay Claim on the WSOP Circuit Regional Championship
|
The end of the second day at the World Series of Poker Circuit Regional Championship taking place at Hammond, Indiana saw twenty four (24) poker players remaining to try their luck on the third day of the event. Day 3 saw the return of these 24 poker faces eager to bag a position in the final table, which will hold only a maximum of 9 players, so the dreams of laying claim on the grand prize money that is a whopping five hundred and twenty five thousand US dollars ($525,000) of the unlucky 15 would have to be shattered and they would have to leave without trying their luck in the finals that will take place on Thursday.
Gabe Patgorski stayed consistent and was able to maintain a steady chip count lead the entire day by a commendable margin of almost one million (1,000,000) more poker chips in his stack than his closest rival Brunson ten member, David “DocSands” Sands, not a mean feat considering that it takes a single poker hand to completely turn the tables around.
At the end of the third day the nine finalists to make it to the Thursday final tables for the grand prize of $525,000 are mostly the young guns of the poker world today. Shannon Shorr, David Sands, Curt Kohlberg, Foxwoods, Brandon Adams and Bernard lee, all oozing with young talent and immense poker skills are all in the hunt looking to bag the grand loot.
Here is what the final rankings look just before the start of the final event, the current positions and chip count for the nine finalists at the World Series of Poker Circuit Regional Championship:
