The final 27 players are making their way into the Pavilion and unbagging their chips for the final day of the 2015 Coco Poker Open Championship.

Chance Kornuth leads the way as the only player with a seven-digit stack and is one of the most experienced in the Day 3 field. His career earnings are only surpassed by 2010 November Niner John Dolan with Kornuth’s first career WSOP cash earning him a bracelet in 2010.

Kornuth isn’t the only bracelet winner coming back today. Tristan Wade won his title in 2011 while Cord Garcia’s bracelet is only a few months old. He picked up a huge payday as the last player standing in this summer’s massive WSOP Colossus event.

Wade also holds a WSOP Circuit ring but John Holley tops everyone with his three rings. There are 13 rings combined among the final 27 with Jonathan Abla and Nathan Bjerno the only other multiple winners.

Today’s players have combined for more than $20 million in career earnings and someone will add another $264,000 to their personal bankroll when we are done. John Dolan was that man last year, he’s right in the middle of the pack and will have to do some work.
