After seven days of play, the 2009 World Series of Poker has reached the last three tables.
Twenty-seven players remain in the game, out of almost 6,500 entrants. They are deep in the money and you could think that the rest is a freeroll.
Phil Ivey still in the race
That's probably not how they see things, though. Considering that the prize sums go up from $350K for places 19 to 27 to $3.5 million or more for top three, staying in the game could mean a huge difference in the bottom line.
