Tournament after tournament at the 2015 World Series of Poker has featured brand name pros at the top of the leaderboard. Event #39, a $1,500 10-Game Mix, is no exception. We’re down to our final nine and the group is loaded with talent, including three bracelet winners. In fact, 2015 bracelet winner Brian Stinger885 Hastings (pictured) leads the way.

Hastings has a stack of 651,000, over 200,000 ahead of the second place tally belonging to Tim Reusch. Hastings won the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship a week ago for $239,000 and his second bracelet. His first came in 2012 in the $10,000 No Limit Hold’em Heads-Up Championship.

Hastings was active on Twitter on Saturday morning, but he wasn’t talking about the 10-Game Mix and a possible third bracelet. Instead, he was trying to sell action for a $500,000 buy-in event at Aria.

Fifth place in the 10-Game event belongs to PocketFiver Mike SirWatts Watson (pictured), who has a stack of 277,000. Watson has had an impressive showing thus far at the 2015 WSOP, recording four top-25 finishes and two final tables. He has $1.1 million in career WSOP winnings despite not having a bracelet.

Eric Wasserson, known on PocketFives as gpokerg, is in sixth place entering Saturday’s finale. Wasserson has five top-20 finishes already at the WSOP and took second in a $3,000 No Limit Hold’em Shootout last year. He bagged 255,000 in chips on Friday.

Bracelet winners Owais Ahmed and Todd Brunson are also still in the mix, which means we have a 33% chance of having a repeat bracelet winner. Here’s how the field stacks up:

1. Brian Stinger885Hastings – 651,000
2. Tim Reusch – 434,000
3. Owais Ahmed – 383,500
4. Alexey Makarov – 352,000
5. Mike SirWattsWatson – 277,000

7. Rostislav Tsodikov – 206,500
8. Todd Brunson – 191,500
9. Dan Matsuzuki – 96,000

The tournament will restart at 2:00pm PT with two tables. The winner gets $133,000 and a bracelet and everyone left is guaranteed $9,000.
