Star-Studded Top Five

We gathered chip counts from the final 27 players at the end of the day, and take a look at the names in the top five:
|:img:6201,R:|
1. Vivek “Flog” Rajkumar – 1,080,000
2. Gavin Smith – 979,000
3. Matt Matros – 943,000
4. Kathy Liebert – 879,000
5. Erik Seidel – 851,000

Rajkumar is going for an unprecedented two WPT titles in a row, while Gavin Smith is going for his second WPT title, and his first on his home turf in Canada. Kathy Liebert is striving to become the first woman to win an open WPT event, and Erik Seidel just wants to add another WPT title to his long list of poker accomplishments.

We’ll post seating assignments for Day 4 as soon as they are released from the casino, along with a recap later tonight. Day 4 begins tomorrow (Wednesday) at 12:00 noon ET, and we’ll be providing complete live coverage, including every single hand from the final two tables, chip counts, photos, and video interviews with Amanda Leatherman.
