The fourth and final day of Event #59: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold'em will play out today at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with 11 players looking to get their hands on the bracelet and the $368,025 first-place prize.
Turkey's Yucel Eminoglu sits in pole position with a stack of 15,900,000, which is more than double the stack of his closest rival Buck Bucceri who has 7,725,000. Sean Jazayeri rounds out the top three stacks with 7,050,000 chips.
The only remaining bracelet winner in the field is Kevin Song, who starts the day with 4,400,000 chips �� good for seventh in the counts. Song won his bracelet back in 1997 and it would be a spectacular feat to secure a second gold strap 27 years after his first.
