The WSOP Main Event has whittled its way down to just 354 players with an 888poker online qualifier in the chip lead. Payouts now sit at $34,845 for the next three players to be eliminated, and the amount then increases to $38,240 and upward from there.

Millions may be on the line for those at the final table, but money matters as the pay jumps increase.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Notable Information

When Day 4 of the Main Event began, there were three former champions still in action. That didn’t last long, though. Chris Moneymaker exited in 687th place, and he was followed by Johnny Chan in 560th place and Qui Nguyen in 455th.

Notably, former champion Joe Hachem’s son, Daniel, remains in the tournament.

The official online poker site running qualifiers to the WSOP Main Event was 888poker, and one of the people who won a Main Event prize package for just $100 was Dean Morrone, a Canadian who had never played the tournament before. He not only made it through to Day 5, he also maintained the chip lead. “I can’t believe this is real life,” he responded. “I’ve watched this tournament on TV over the years, always just manifested me playing it, and it’s all coming into effect.”

With the support of friends and family, Morrone told PokerNews he is anxious to keep playing. “Even a min-cash is really huge to me,” said the player with little more than $10K in lifetime live tournament earnings. “Anything past that is going to be extra, so I can’t wait for tomorrow!”

Those returning today will attempt to play five more levels and bag chips once again.

A week from today, one of the remaining players in the Main Event will take home this bracelet and $10,000,000. #WSOP50 pic.twitter.com/lPAv4yVXKa
