$50,000 Poker Players Championship Field Cut Down to 13

They say 13 is unlucky but the 13 players who remain in Event #56: $50,000 Poker Players Championship certainly do not consider themselves that. This is because they reached the penultimate day of what is arguably the WSOP’s most prestigious tournament.

Brazilian Yuri Dzivielevski (5,645,000) is the man to catch going into Day 4. Dzivielevski is hunting for his third WSOP bracelet but he will be made to work hard for it judging by how strong the field still is despite being whittle from 112 entrants to only 15.

Defending champion Dan Cates (4,995,000) is still in the mix, as are the likes of reigning WSOP Main Event champion Koray Aldemir (3,205,000), British mixed game specialists Matthew Ashton (2,250,000) and Benny Glaser (1,210,000), plus five other players who have already struck poker gold at least once in their career.

The players return to the action from 2:00 p.m. local time on June 29 when they play down to a fantastic final five.

Ypma bagged up 6,660,000 chips at the close of play, and is closely followed by John Ciccarelli (6,635,000) who has less than a small blind fewer chips than the leader.
