Winner To Be Crowned in Event #11: $2,700 Main Event
Entering the third and final day of Event #11: $2,700 Main Event at the Potomac Winter Poker Open just seven players remain from an original field of 533. Each of those players has locked up at least $39,506 but all eyes will surely be on the top prize of $277,053 and the title of main event champion.
Currently the player best positioned to chase that first place finish is Caitlyn Cobb who holds the chiplead with a stack of 7,740,000. She will face stiff competition, however, in the form of WSOP bracelet winner and established Maryland poker pro Justin Liberto, sitting second in chips with 5,990,000. The hyper aggressive, angry birds hat-wearing Christopher Brown, who was near the top of the chip counts for much of the tournament, rounds out the top three with 3,995,000.
