A strong and talented field of 295 players came out for the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha World Championship two days ago at the 2009 WSOP, and at the end of play last night there were only 25 players left, with Bodog Poker pro David Williams among them.

Those players return to the Amazon Room in just a few hours to battle it out for the $679,379 first-place prize. There are several players who will be looking to secure their first WSOP bracelets, including Day 1 and Day 2 chip leader Noah Schwartz, who has built up a monstrous lead with almost double the chip stack of second place's Marcus Golser. Those seeking another WSOP bracelet to add to their collections include Barry Greenstein, Josh Arieh, Howard Lederer, Chau Giang and Nenad Medic.

Williams has a below average stack but won several key hands toward the end of play last night to make it through to Day 3. With the wild swings that can happen in Pot Limit Omaha, the event really still is open to anyone, so there's no counting anyone out.

Stay tuned for more 2009 WSOP updates.
