The marathon that is Event #58: $50,000 Poker Players Championship (7-Handed) at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) will reach its conclusion today, and that means a new PPC champion will be crowned after the elimination of three-time champ Michael Mizrachi on Day 4.

Second in chips among the five remaining players is fan favorite Daniel Negreanu, who nearly hit the rail in sixth place before spiking a one-outer late on Day 4 against another returning player, Bryce Yockey, in what will likely go down as one of the most memorable hands in PPC history �� one reminiscent of a sickening beat Yockey took at the final table of the same event in 2019.

The only player with more chips than Negreanu is Chris Brewer, who is after his third career bracelet after winning two at last year's WSOP, including in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship.

��It��s exciting. I��ve just been really fortunate and had a lot of good runouts. I��m not going to try to think about it too much, either way and just hope that keeps happening,�� Brewer told PokerNews at the end of Day 4.

Brewer, whose eight-figure chip count was assisted by a late-night elimination of Johannes Becker, sits far in front of middling stacks Yockey and Dylan Smith and runaway short stack David Benyamine as the old-school French pro starts the day with just two big bets.
