Time to crown the newest Gods Of Poker Main Event champion! Who will hoist the Black-and-Gold gauntlet? 

From a field of 289 entries, the highlight event is now down to the final 9 players. Each one is guaranteed a five figure payout of the $500,000 prize pool with the eventual winner locking up the lone six-figure payout of $109,540. Play resumes at 12:30PM at the Grand Ballroom of NagaWorld in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. 

With the average stack at 38 big blinds, it is anyone's game. The player with the best chance is India's Kunal Patni with the largest stack worth 79 big blinds. 

Patni has a sizable advantage over his closest rival, Taiwan's Peng Sen Wu, who returns with 58 big blinds, followed by China's Feng Yang in third rank with 57 big blinds. The lone lady in the round is Korea's Miyoung Cho with 52 big blinds. This will be her second  chance at a gauntlet this series.
