Day 6 of the 2014 World Series of Poker main event started with 79 players, but a long grind has seen the field reach the final three tables of 27. Swedish pro Martin Jacobson, who finished day 1A at the top of the chip counts, once again finds himself atop the leader board.
Jacobson has already guaranteed himself a $286,900 payday, which would rank as the seventh largest score of his career. But of course, Jacobson and the rest of the players have their eyes firmly set on making the final table and becoming a member of the November Nine, which is worth a minimum of $730,725 and comes with a shot at a $10 million payday.
Sitting in second place overnight is Los Angeles pro Jose Luis Velador, who already has two WSOP bracelets of his own. Velador won a $1,500 no-limit hold’em event in 2008 for $574,734 and followed that up with a victory in a $2,500 half pot-limit hold’em, half pot-limit Omaha event in 2010 for $260,517.
Other notables still in contention include Daniel Sindelar, Dan Smith, Andrey Zaichenko, Eddy Sabat, Kyle Keranen, Leif Force, Sean Dempsey, Scott Palmer and Mark Newhouse, who is hoping to become the first player since Dan Harrington to make back-to-back main event final tables.
Bryan Devonshire, who finds himself in the middle of the pack is hoping to improve upon the 12th place finish he secured in 2011. The Card Player columnist has won a WSOP Circuit ring and finished runner-up in a World Poker Tour event, but the deep run in the main event remains the largest score of his career.
The tournament will resume Monday at noon with blinds of 60,000-120,000 with a 15,000 ante, giving the average stack of 7,425,556 nearly 62 big blinds to work with.
