We had a lot of players scoring in this, but they were all just for one point each, with one exception. Can you spot which player I'm talking about?
Cada rounded off an already-incredible Summer by winning his second bracelet of the Series. As $1,500 events go, this one attracted a helluva lot of pro players. Maybe they had nothing else to play if they were out of the Main.
And Debbie crushed it again, showing what a good decision her Cada draft was.
MintTrav:
The points entering the final event are as below. There have been a few small adjustments due to some one-point results missed along the way. Thanks to Vince for his help there. I spent most of tonight thinking there would need to be some major changes, as the WSOP site is showing lots of cashes for #45 which I hadn't included. After a long time, I realised that there is a screw-up on the site. The results down to position 113 are as they were before but, from 114 onwards, they are now a copy of #75. Hendon Mob is showing the results of #45 as we have them.
Barrie has a small lead that may be decisive, but it just takes one cash to overtake him. So who can win? Barrie has no players on the One Drop final table, so is vulnerable to any of the other leaders who do. Second-placed Paxo has none either, so he can't win. ChrisH has short-stacked Ivey on his team, and needs him to finish at least 3rd to snatch the win. Carl has Dan Smith, so he needs a top-two result, as well as not finishing below Ivey. None of the others near the top have enough (or any) players remaining.
At the other end, IrishTom has sewn up bottom place with a tournament to spare, as he has no-one remaining in it. Was there ever any doubt?

It's the final countdown - and we still don't know who is going to win. In fact, we don't know any of the top three positions, though we know that Barrie will fill one of them, but not which one.
There are only six players still in the tournament, and we have just three of them on our teams, so the possible results should be fairly straightforward, right? Not so - a vast number of outcomes are still possible.
We have a piece of Bonomo, Holz and Smith. Justin has all three of them, so could have a record-breaking tournament (he also has Ivey, so it could have been even more), but he can't challenge the leaders.
The current top three (Barrie, Paxo and ChrisH) don't have any players left, so are sitting ducks for the sharp-shooters below. Barrie is in pole position on 321 points, looking likely to retain his title, but Carl (currently 4th) will knock him off his perch if Dan Smith wins or finishes second. Carl is guaranteed to secure 2nd place if Smith lasts one more place and cashes in the tournament, as that will give him a minimum of 315.
If Bonomo wins and secures 25 points for his backers, Jordan will leap from 289 into 2nd place on 314, above Chris H, who is stranded on 307. Not only that, but Chris wouldn't even be 4th or 5th, because Vince and Debbie are currently on 284 and 283, so would also squeak in above him to 309 and 308. All that is dependant on Smith being next out, though, because otherwise Carl will jump over them all into 2nd and the others will all move down one place.
A runner-up spot for Bonomo would see Jordan tie with Chris for 3rd (or 4th) on 307, with Vince and Debbie slipping into 6th and 7th. Jordan will finish 5th if JB gets 3rd and 6th if Justin bags 4th or 5th. Vince and Debbie...oh, I can't be bothered.
Got all that? Simple really.
But who'd have thought that at this stage so much would still be up in the air?
