On Thursday, Event #24 of the 2014 World Series of Poker, a $5,000 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max contest, will play down from 17 players to one bracelet winner. The field is rock solid, containing nine PocketFivers, one Main Event champion, one November Niner with a huge chip lead, and one player looking to become the second dual bracelet winner of 2014. Besides that, there’s not a lot to talk about.

Let’s start with the chip leader, 2010 WSOP November Niner and 2011 bracelet winner Matt Jarvis (pictured), who was the lone player to bag a seven-figure chip stack on Wednesday. Jarvis stands at 1.37 million in chips, with WSOP coverage explaining, “On one of the final hands of the night, Jarvis eliminated Andrea Dato in a big cooler. Both the Italian and the Canadian flopped trip aces, but Jarvis had his opponent out-kicked with a king to Dato’s queen. The money went in on the river and Jarvis was shipped a massive pot.”

2012 WSOP Main Event winner Greg Mersonis also in the hunt for the $5K bracelet and has the 11th largest stack at 379,000 in chips. Merson eliminated George Tokarczyk in 23rd place after snap-calling a 4bet all-in with queens. Tokarczyk rolled over jacks and neither player improved when the board ran out 9-3-A-K-4. Merson is in search of his fourth career WSOP final table.

Griffin Flush_EntityBenger (pictured) is also still alive and is in 13th with 297,000. Benger, a former #1 playeron PocketFives, will make his fourth final day appearance in a WSOP event since 2012 and is in search of bracelet #1. WSOP coverage relayed, “Benger was crippled down to five big blinds during the penultimate level of the evening when Pratyush Buddiga cracked his A-Q with A-J, but he received a fortuitous triple-up with J-10 against pocket tens and then exacted revenge with a weak ace against Buddiga’s A-K.”

Also in the mix is 2014 WSOP bracelet winner Kory s00tedj0kersKilpatrick, who won a $3,000 Shootout three days ago. Kilpatrick is looking to become the second dual bracelet winner of 2014, joining fellow PocketFiver Dominik bounatirouIMO Nitsche, who won a $1,000 No Limit Hold’em event on Tuesday as well as the WSOP National Championship.
