One of the most highly-anticipated events of the summer has reached its final table. Though Event #28: Monster Stack $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em saw participation fall a bit this year – the event drew 7,192 compared to 7,862 in 2014 – there's no doubt this is still one of the premier events of the World Series of Poker based on the raw numbers.
Last year, notable pros like Joe McKeehen (second place), Thayer Rasmussen (fifth), and Zachary Gruneberg (eighth) advanced to the final table, but none was able to win as Hugo Pingray came out on top and earned more than $1.
