Traditionally, the strongest players from the USA reach the final of the tournament, and this year is no exception. In addition to Ivey, there are still seven bracelet owners in the game and some of them have recorded more than one such award. Shaun Deeb has got four WSOP bracelets and is currently third on the stack.

Another poker professional Dan Cates is also fighting for the victory in the given event. However, Jungleman seems to be little unsure of himself and asks his Twitter followers for extra magic to win the tournament:

Of course, it’s a sort of joking but who knows, maybe the player has a sense of uncertainty indeed since the battle for the first place promises to be challenging.
