LAS VEGAS (AP) — A group of 23 card players at the World Series of Poker main event remain in the hunt to win millions, but only nine will make the final table to be played in November.
Four players were eliminated within one-and-a-half hours on Saturday at the start of what was expected to be a long session of no-limit Texas Hold ’em.
The chip leader Joseph Cheong is a 24-year-old poker player with two bachelor’s degrees and roughly 11 percent of the chips in play.
Johnny Lodden, Matthew Bucaric, Mads Wissing and Ronnie Bardah have been eliminated, each winning more than $317,000.
