William Mietz just became our sixth place finisher, cashing $186,510 after running into the Bertrand Grospellier machine.

The hand started with a $260k raise from ElkY that Mietz called from the big blind.

The flop came 9 7 4 and both players checked.

The turn brought the 9 and after a Mietz check, the Team PokerStars Pro bet $360,000. Mietz moved in for a little over $1 million total and ElkY looked perplexed.

Eventually he made the call with just A 10, but it had Mietz beat, as his K 10 stunk of desperation.

The river came the 9, Grospellier added a few more chips to ElkY mountain and we are down to five.

Bertrand Groispellier shoved into a short stacked Nam Le from the small blind and Nam made the call for his tournament life.

It was A 9 for ElkY and it looked like an easy fade for Le's A K. The flop came 7 5 3, but when the turn brought the 8 Elky picked up a gutshot and a club draw.

In the end though, Le doubled when the J fell and he is right back wehre he started on $2.2 million now.

In the first real action of the day Bertrand Grospellier has added to his lead courtesy of Nam Le, who showed up just in time for the final skipping the photo shoot before.

ElkY raised it up to $275k from the small blind and Nam protected his big.

The flop came T T 3 and Grospellier led out making it $335,000.

Le slowly made the call and the 8 turn was revealed.

ElkY checked, but Le did not, betting $400,000 into the growing pot.Grospellier flatted and the 2 came down on the river.

Both players checked and Grospellier's A 8 forced a Le muck.

Le's slide continued when he raised it up to $265,000 a hand or two later then folded to an Adam Levy shove.

By virtue of pushing all in and stealing the blinds and antes, Adam Levy is no longer the short stack.

We've played just a couple of hands, but that honor now belongs to William Mietz!

The introductions are through and the players have taken there seats with 20 minutes left in Level 25.

Shuffle up and deal!

This is also Nam Le's unbelievable fifth WPT final table and he'll come in looking to book another win.

Osmin "Odie" Dardon is following up a WSOP final table this past summer with an appearance here while Will Mietz will be looking to make a name for himself with a big splash today at Bellagio.

The short stack is Adam "Roothlus" Levy, who narrowly missed another final table at WPT Niagara last year and can definitely hang with the big boys.
