Two players are left standing in the World Series of Poker Main Event.
Lucas Jumalon held the chip lead when action in the $10,000 buy-in No-limit Hold’em World Championship was paused Tuesday at Horseshoe Events Center.
The 22-year-old professional poker player from Spokane, Washington, will battle Lauri Saaskilahti in heads-up play for the $10 million first prize when the tournament resumes Wednesday. Cards are set to be in the air at 6 p.m. with ESPN’s coverage scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Jumalon has 328 million chips and is seeking to become the second-youngest winner of the Main Event behind Joe Cada in 2009. Saaskilahti knocked out fan favorite Greg Mueller in third place and is sitting on 225 million chips. He would be the first player from Finland to win the Main Event bracelet.
