Just 27 players left in the WSOP ......


Top 5 ...............
$13m Jamie Gold
$7.735m Erik Friberg
$6.905mDavid Einhorn
$6.4m Rhett Butler
$5.725m Michael Binger

selected others....
$3.765m William Thorson
$3.715m Jeffrey Lisandro
$2.65m Allen Cunningham

Four players have $700k or less, with the blinds at 25k/50k and the antes set @ 5k, they will have to get busy. All players are now guaranteed $494,797, tonight they will play down to just 9 players and a minimum $1.5m.

That will not overly concern David Einhorn who has pledged all his winnings to charity, nice gesture, but a little easier to make when you are in charge of a $3b hedge fund.

Ladbrokes and Chandler have outright odds , top quotes Gold 5.0 vc, Friberg 8.0 vc, Einhorn 11.0 lad, Nassif 13.0 lad, Binger 13.0 vc/lad, Cunningham 17.0 vc, thorson 21.0 vc, lisandro 21.0 vc.

Back shortly.
