That is the big question today as the 21 hopefuls remain with a chance to win one of the most coveted bracelets of the summer. The $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. championship is led by high-stakes cash game player Tommy Hang who has come close to winning a bracelet almost every year since 2007. Hang has five World Series of Poker final tables under his belt and today he's one of the favorites to take this one down.
Hang's competition is fierce with mixed game specialist Randy Ohel in second place. Ohel's last eight WSOP cashes came in seven different variations of the game and with a Limit 2-7 Triple Draw bracelet under his belt he knows what it takes to be the last one standing.
One of the contenders today is Glenn Cozen. While Cozen might not be the most recognizable face in poker, he got closer than any of the remaining players to winning the WSOP Main Event. Back in 1993 Cozen finished second to Jim Bechtel for $420,000 in the Main Event that had 220 entries that year.
Christopher Wallace, currently in third place, eyes his first WSOP final table, while the only other player left in the field who has never made it that far in a tournament here is Richard Sklar. Sklar is in last place, but anything can happen with the volatility of limit games.
Out of the 21 players that remain, 11 of them already have one or more bracelets. Daniel Negreanu leads the way with six bracelets while Nick Kost, one of the short stacks coming into today, won his first gold just a week ago in the $1,500 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo.
So there you have it ladies and gentleman! Watch out for all the aforementioned but don't count out top pros David Benyamine, Bertrand Grospellier, Nick Schulman, Richard Ashby, Max Pescatori, Bill Chen, Bruno Fitoussi and John Cerntuo who have all been there before.
Live coverage starts at 2:00 p.m. PST and we will make sure you will get all the live updates throughout the epic conclusion of this event.
Calvin Anderson raised under the gun and Glenn Cozen, on his immediate left, moved all in for just 7,000 chips. Cozen, who finished second in the 1993 WSOP Main Event, had been on the losing side of many hands, and now he was up against two players for his tournament life as Ben Yu called from the big blind.
The flop came and Yu check-called a bet from Anderson. The turn and river were then both checked.
Yu showed , Anderson tabled , and Cozen did not win the hand as he showed .
Richard Ashby completed and Ben Yu raised. The action got back to Ashby who called, then on fourth street Ashby bet out and Yu called. Yu then folded on fifth, leaving himself with just 19,000 chips.

Two hands later Calvin Anderson had the bring-in and Daniel Negreanu completed. Richard Sklar and Ashby called and Yu tossed in the call as well, keeping just 2,000 chips left behind. On fourth street Negreanu and Sklar checked to Ashby who bet, Yu called all in, and both Negreanu and Sklar called as well.
On fifth Ashby bet again and that got the two other players to fold.
Mark Gregorich was eliminated from play by Tommy Hang. Gregorich got it all in with trip sevens against Hang's trip nines. Hang's trips quickly became quads, catching the fourth nine on sixth street. Gregorich was eliminated from play and will collect $18,254 in prize money.
Hang raked in the chips and now sits right around 1 million in chips.
Week three is underway at the 2014 World Series of Poker, and the crew is back to talk about the Venetian and Sheldon Adelson, some of the new bracelet winners, and more.

At the exact moment when Sergey Altbregin was knocked out we also lost French top pro Bertrand Grospellier. Randy Ohel, the current chip leader, was kind enough to explain to us what happened.
Ohel ended up scooping a big three-way pot against both Grospellier and Christopher Wallace, as the chip leader managed to make two pair, kings and queens. Grospellier mucked on seventh street and hit the rail in 16th place.
