On Tuesday, 89 players returned to The Bicycle Casino to play down to the final 24. It was a most-eventful day, with plenty of big names still in action, the 30-second Action Clock in play, and the WPT’s billionth prize dollar looming.
Two-time WPT champion and two-time WSOP bracelet winner J.C. Tran bagged the chip lead, and watch out players, because he is hungry for his third title.
