It's final table time at the Caesars Palace Poker Classic Main Event and we've got a few name players left on the board.
An impressive total of 520 entries in the event, we are down to our final 9. A stunning three of the remaining players have won a tournament on the circuit this season ... and all have won pretty important tournaments.
Festa al Lago winner Justin Young will collect his third PTPR Score of the 2011 season. Young (pictured), who also collected points at the WPT Tour Championship, started the day second in chips.
The chip lead heading into Monday's play belongs to Huy Nguyen - Nguyen won the WSOPC Choctaw Main Event earlier in the year.
The other winner on tour this season is Steve Billirakis. Billirakis already has three PTPR Scores on the season - including the win in the PLO event at WSOP Europe. Billirakis also has two scores at the WSOP this summer. This will be the first score in a non-WSOP event for the year for Billirakis.
