Who makes the final table at the Main Event?

This years main event has started to come to a close with phil ivey currently in second place as of 21:37 july 14th. Antonio esfandiari is still hanging on as well. With just 28 players remaining, I think its a good time to start making making picks on who the potential final table players could be. Billy kopp is currently leading the field with just over 15 million chips with phil ivey trailing close behind with over 15 million as well. Darvin moon has been holding strong in the top 3 as well. SO tell everyone who you think is gonna make the final table and why. Ive included a poll has as well, for those of you who want to try their luck at picking a potential winner.

well phil has played very sharp this year. he won 2 already this year. so i am making him my pick to reach the final table. with only 64 people left and him sitting in 3rd i dont see how he cant make it.

I also think phil ivey is gonna do really good and win the main event, or at least make the final table

Ok just a little update for today so far. Phil ivey has dropped down to 4th

with just a little over 13 million in chips. Chip leader darvin moon broke the

ice on the 20 million chip mark. With just 27 players remaining it really looks

like phil ivey should make the final table, but anything can happen. Antonio

efandiari is still in this sitting at 20th place with 4.5 million in chips.

So who actually won the tournament I havnt seen yet

They just did this to build up suspense and make it a big live event. Also the palyers are so tired form playing day after day after day straight it gives them the opportunity to recoop and be fresh and on their game when the money matters most. I think it just brings in more revenue from the casino as they may charge for people to watch but i am not sure. Its weird though, it gives the players an opportunity to research each other and figure out each others tendencies from other players. Some people like it/ some not

They redrew to 2 tables now only 18 people left!!! AHHHHH

Here are the tables.. ivey is still in and he already has 2 bracelets during this wsop lol
