At Noon today the last chance for poker players to win a WSOP bracelet before the 2009 WSOP Main Event got underway. The $5,000 Six-Handed No Limit Holdem event drew 928 players among which were Bodog Poker pros David Williams and Justin Bonomo.

The sixth level of play has just ended and the players are headed out on their dinner break. Already half of the field has made the walk of shame to the rail and back to wherever they came from as there are now only 462 players remaining. Notable players who are still in the running include Lee Watkinson, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Allen Cunningham, Kathy Liebert, Eli Elezra, Gavin Smith and a lot more.

The payouts have been announced and along with being the last chance for players to win a bracelet in a field that won't consist of thousands of poker players, it looks like it will also be the last chance to become a millionaire under the same circumstances. First place pays out an impressive $1,003,163 and the top 90 players will walk away with at least something, starting at $9,159 for 90th through 79th.

A quick glance at Williams and Bonomo's stacks after they left for dinner left us confused because the maths is hard. However, the stacks look healthy and Bonomo has more orange ones than the other people at his table. See? We're super helpful and in tune with what's going on …. What's that? Another WSOP party tonight? We're there.
