One of the biggest names in poker Daniel Negreanu could be less than 24 hours away from his fourth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet.
The Canadian, who was the WSOP player of the year in 2004, currently lies in third position going into tonight's final table in the $2,000 limit hold'em tournament.
He has just over 100,000 less chips than leader David Baker, with Ugur Marangoz also not too far ahead in second.
Gregory Wohletz is fourth, followed by Richard Li, Derek Lerner and Fu Wong.
Hien Tran and Jeremy Kottle make up the remaining places.
Negreanu is by far the more accomplished player at the table and will become the third biggest live tournament earner of all time should he take down the $204,434 competition.
However, he has not been in winning form in recent years and has not triumphed in a major tournament since 2004, when he won his second World Poker Tour title.
