The Players are down to the money in the 2010 WSOP 50k Player’s Championship 8 game. Kirk Morrison was the former chip leader and now he’s the current bubble boy. John Juanda has silently creeped up like I said and is the Chip Leader over the 2 million mark.

Michael Mizrachi leads the 2010 WSOP 50k Players Championship 8 game going into day 4. Not only is there one Mizrachi but there’s two! His brother Robert Mizrachi is in 6th place right now and they have been exchanging all of day 3. John Juanda is silently creeping up as always and high stakes David Oppenheim is in 3rd. Abe Mosseri is a sick high stakes player from NYC who does well in these high buy-in tournaments- look for him at the final table. Allen Bari finished 7th in the EPT High Roller Monte Carlo. David Baker aka WhooooKidd is also in the running. James Van Alstyne is adept at these mixed limits games and has plenty of mixed game tournament experience. Vladimir Schmelev is not known to me, but I’ll try to find out who this guy from St. Petersburg is. I will try to provide you with the best 2010 WSOP Chip Counts twice a day. For 2010 WSOP Coverage of Full Tilt Pros go here.

The high stakes protégé from Moscow Alexander Kostritsyn is leading the pack of one of the most fierce fields to ever play in a WSOP tournament. Another Russian is in second place! WTF the Russians are coming! Actually they have been doing really well in the last couple of World Series of Poker. The 50k Player’s Championship is down to just 34 players as Phil Ivey, Joe Cassidy, Matt Glantz, and George Lind have been eliminated. For WSOP Series Updates from the Pros go to Full Tilt Poker Series coverage.

Here is the featured table at the 2010 50k Player’s Championship. Steve Zolotow (bald eagle), Daniel Alaei, Eli Elezra, David Singer, and one of the Mizrachis. Looks like Joe Cassidy too, but hes out now.
