24 Players Remain in Event #52: $2,500 Nine Game Mix; Hellmuth, Negreanu in Contention
Tonight, a player will add or claim a new WSOP Gold Bracelet to his collection, thanks to Event #52: $2,500 Nine Game Mix at the 2022 World Series of Poker at Bally��s and Paris Las Vegas.
A bunch of big names are ready to do battle, like Phil Hellmuth and Scott Seiver who will start at the same table, and the winner will be known tonight. David Bach leads the way, but he's chased by a thirsty mob of players who haven't said their last word yet, like Nick Guagenti or Mike Gorodinsky, who have almost the same stack to start this final day.
The victor could also come from abroad, with Sampo Ryynanen (Finland), Warwick Mirzikinian (Australia), Andre Akkari (Brazil), Phil Long (England), Christian Pereira (Argentina) or Adrian Panocki (Poland) who will take their best shots. Whatever happens today, one of those players will take the $219,799 first-place prize and a WSOP gold bracelet.
