LAS VEGAS (AP) The crowd of would-be World Series of Poker champions has narrowed to nearly 1,800 players, each hoping some of the $60.3 million prize pool ends up in their bank accounts.
The last 1,000 players will win at least $15,000. The final nine players are guaranteed at least $1 million.
Poker stars Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu remain in the no-limit Texas Hold `em main event.
Comedic duo and stars of ''Everybody Loves Raymond'' Brad Garrett and Ray Romano have split. Garrett remains in the running but Romano lost most of his chips late Thursday when his aces and nines, fell to an ace-high straight.
