End of Day 5 at the WPT Championships
They are done another day and still 17 players remain in this neverending battle. Phil Ivey is dominating the tournamenent with well over 3 million chips and the chip leader unless he has a horrible day of cards you can be sure to see him at the final table on Sunday April 24th. Another young star in the running is "The Grinder" who has been red hot and winning a ton of tournaments. I personally got my money on Michael Mizrachi. The clear favorite is Phil Ivey with his monstrous chip stack.
