WSOP $500 Summer Saver Final Table Set — With a Five-Bracelet Crasher

Nine players remain at the WSOP Event #95 final table, the $500 Summer Saver No-Limit Hold'em — and not one of them owns a bracelet.

Gerald Esposito leads with 14,000,000 chips. His Hendon Mob profile shows no recorded lifetime earnings — this may be his first tracked WSOP cash. Ming Chen, who topped the counts at 13,200,000 when 18 players remained, is still alive after bagging a massive stack through Day 2.

The final table took shape after two notable exits just outside the nine-handed redraw. Martin Kabrhel, a five-time bracelet winner with $12.88M in lifetime earnings and 34 career final tables, fell in 12th place. One-time bracelet winner John Esposito ($2.39M lifetime, 17 final tables) busted 13th.

Martin Kabrhel, a five-time bracelet winner with $12.88M in lifetime earnings, fell in 12th place.

A Thin-Resume Final Table

Among the nine remaining, the deepest recorded résumé belongs to Stefan Jahn of Germany: $76,512 in lifetime cashes and one prior final table. Czech player Lukas Timko sits just below at $73,496 and one final table of his own. Frank Cimperman, who held 6,000,000 chips at 18 players, has no recorded tournament earnings at all.

Glen Cressman ($109,134 lifetime, two final tables) and Merritt Kuhn ($432,058, two final tables) both busted before the final nine were set — finishing 19th and 20th, respectively.

First-place money and a gold bracelet are on the line at the Horseshoe in Las Vegas. Play resumes later on July 15.
