Where thousands of poker players converge from across the globe to battle it out for a share of a $68,798,600 prizepool, an 18-karat gold diamond encrusted bracelet and with it the title of champion of the world.

This year’s WSOP Main Event started on 2nd July and was open to anyone with a cool $10,000 buyin at hand. The event is now into its 4th day of a possible eight, where the coveted November Nine will then be decided.

InterPoker’s resident pro Juha Helppi is assertively deep in this year’s WSOP Main Event, with over 693,000 in chips, he’s sitting in a very respectable 76th out of 574 remaining players.

The current blind levels stand at level 17 at 3000/6000 with an ante of a 1000. With Juha sitting quite comfortable, he still has a lot of movement within the tournament.
