25. Nick Maimone – 1,545,000
26. Leo Margets – 1,530,000
27. Francois Balmigere – 1,440,000
 

The remaining 27 players hail from severn different countries. James Ankenhead is the only remaining player from the United Kingdom, Marco Mattes is Germany’s last chance for the title and Waren Zackey is hoping to bring it home for South Africa. Ludovic Lacay is one of three Frenchmen left in the field and George Caragiorgas of Quebec is looking to become the first Canadian to win the Main Event. With the elimination of Peter Eastgate (Main Event winner 2008) late in Day 6, Dennis Phillips was the only player left of the original November Nine who was unfortunately knocked out in 45th place.

Look out for the two big named professionals who would be my bet to make the final table.

Good Luck once again to James Akenhead!!!
