Event 13 – the final event in the 2013 Fall Classic – is now in level 13 and there are just 47 players remaining of the 204 that started today.
Much of the attention is on the MVP Belt situation – and there are still 4 players in the tournament today with a chance to gain enough points to surpass the current #1, Gary Lucci. For two of them it’s an outside shot at best – Martin Giguere has to place 2nd (or better) to move into first place – and even then he needs help. For Mark Fitzpatrick it’s an even steeper hill – he has to come in first in the event to pass the leaders. And both of them have to hope that they aren’t sharing the final table with the two players who have a more realistic shot at the MVP Belt.
For both Michael Korovine and Vince Dwyer, a 9th place finish or better (and in Vince’s case, Michael has to be eliminated prior) wins them the belt.
Approximate chip counts for the four who still have a shot:
- Vince Dwyer – 105K
- Michael Korovine – 50K
- Martin Giguere – 35K
- Mark Fitzpatrick – 100K
