Phil Hellmuth seemed primed for a run at his record 15th WSOP bracelet in the 2015 WSOP Event #47:$2,500 No-Limit Hold'em, but had to settle for his record 111th WSOP cash finishing 16th.
In the meantime, the event played down to a final table and beyond, getting down to just five players remaining by the time ten levels of play were through. Israel's Timur Margolin holds the chip lead, but 2005 WSOP Main Event final table participant Andy Black is close in the hunt for his first WSOP bracelet.
Play will resume at 1 p.m. local time Friday with a first-place prize of $551,941 hanging in the balance. Here's how the top 5 stack up:
| Rank | Name | Chips |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Timur Margolin | 5,850,000 |
| 2 | Matt O'Donnell | 4,360,000 |
| 3 | Andy Black | 2,010,000 |
| 4 | Andrew Dean | 1,860,000 |
| 5 | Brandon Wittmeyer | 1,470,000 |
