Final Day of Event #4: $1,500 Dealer's Choice 6-Handed Gets Underway Soon
Two full days of play have been completed in Event 4: $1,500 Dealer's Choice 6-Handed and 14 mixed-game players return today to play down to a champion. Play will resume at 2 p.m. local time inside the Bally's Event Center. First place will go home with $126,288 and the coveted bracelet.
There were a total of 430 hopeful entries and now just three tables remain from which a winner will be crowned. The overwhelming chip leader is Brad Ruben with 2,102,000 chips, representing just over 20 percent of the chips in play. His path to a fourth bracelet will be anything but simple with the slew of opponents looking to spoil his plans.
Jorge Walker (1,420,000) led the field for much of Day 2. Players were likely grateful when he eliminated mixed-game star Adam Friedman on the final hand of Day 2 play. Walker is the only player to have even half of Ruben's stack.
Also looking to write his own spot in Dealer's Choice history is Jaswinder Lally (565,000). Lally won this event last year and seeks to defend his title.
Crowd favorite Norman Chad has bracelet-seeking plans of his own. Chad will look to strike early and often, spare no chance at grabbing chips, and scoop the split pot games to send his opponents to the gutter. Chad was sporting some bowling shoes to glide his way into this deep run. He'll look to secure as many doubles as possible today and play his perfect game to take this one home.
Also filling out the star-studded field are bracelet winners Ben Yu (848,000), Naoya Kihara (808,000), Marco Johnson (521,000), and Brian Rast (466,000).
