Event #18 – $5,000 Limit Hold'em - Saro Getzoyan has won $333,379 for the victory in this event. He started the table with the second-smallest chip count and through pure aggression managed to build his stack until it was the only one left. The Lexington, Mass., resident also takes home the WSOP bracelet and Corum watch.

Event #19 – $2,500 No Limit Hold'em - The final table is set and and consists of Humberto Brenes, John 'The Razor' Phan, Devin 'TranquilChaos' Porter, Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier, Alex Bolotin, Francois Safieddine, Marcus Obser, Shawn Hattem and Lars Bonding. Humberto and his sharks (his favorite toy card protectors) are in their third final table of the tournament this year and in the hunt for their third WSOP bracelet. His won both his previous two in 1993. Play will begin later today at 2pm PDT.

Greg Raymer will be looking to validate his 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event win with a second bracelet. Other players competing for the title will be Steve Grabowski, Doug "Rico" Carli, Adam Spiegelberg, Ron Ware, Jim Weir, Min Lee and Ryan Hughes.

Event #21 – $1,500 No Limit Shootout - The players have all been shot out except for the five players remaining at the two last tables (three at one, two at the other). As of 3:30am the chip stacks are almost even between them. A tournament official told us that the blinds might be high enough some time next week to get us to the final table. Seven players have already made it into the final round. Two of the biggest names featured at the table are Erick Lindgren and Daniel Negreanu. Erick is looking for his first WSOP bracelet whereas Daniel is after his fourth.
