Allen Cunningham has earned himself a place at the final table of the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) main event at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
The five-time WSOP bracelet winner will likely be the favourite to take the title given his wealth of experience, but he will face stiff opposition from the other nine players.
Internet professional Ben Fineman leads the chip count, while rising stars of the poker circuit Blair Hinkle and Justino Bonomo will also compete in the nine-man finale.
WSOP and World Poker Tour titlist Ralph Perry is still there too, along with Motoyuki Mabuchi, Thomas Hover, Kelly Samson and the 2005 victor Doug Lee.
A $499,069 prize will go to the winner, which is worth almost $200,000 less than when Lee lifted the crown at the Rio.
Than Nguyen is the unlucky person who missed out on the final table, going home yesterday in tenth place.
