Action was picked up just after Derek Sudell eliminated Eugene Katchalov to advance to the final table, but Sudell was kind enough to recount what had happened in his winning hand.
Sudell shoved from the small blind, and got called by Katchalov.
Eugene Katchalov: 
Derek Sudell: 
Sudell was ahead, but would need to dodge both of Katchalov's overcards. He did so successfully, as the runout came 
. Sudell's pocket threes had held, giving him the pot and a seat at tomorrow's final table.

When play started yesterday in Event #27: $1,500 Shootout No-Limit Hold'em, 1,000 players had hopes of winning a prestigious gold bracelet in the only shootout format offered at the World Series of Poker at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas this Summer. Now, after two full days of play, only ten players remain as the final table is set for tomorrow.
Kevin Song was one of the first players to lock his seat up today. He amassed a large stack early on and never ran into trouble until he began heads-up play. Patrick Leonard gave him plenty of trouble, chipping away at Song's chip stack and hanging around for some time.
Eventually, Song finished the job and will return tomorrow to try and do the same. Song seeks his second gold bracelet with only nine players standing in his way.

| 9 | Austin Peck | United States | 2,475,000 |
| 10 | David Dowdy | United States | 2,480,000 |
Each of the remaining players has navigated two rounds of play, winning their table to advance each day. Now, the only thing that stands between them and World Series of Poker glory are the nine other faces they will sit down with tomorrow.
A true comeback story, Timothy McDermott was down to a single 5,000 chip during Day 1 play. Now, he finds himself at the final table. He will look to complete his own "chip and the chair" story tomorrow.
Play will pick back up Wednesday, June 15th at 12 p.m. PDT inside Bally's Event Center. Players will start at 15,000-30,000-30,000 blinds with 15-minute breaks every three levels.
PokerNews will be there to crown the newest gold bracelet winner, so tune in right here tomorrow.
