Ivey and Hellmuth headline final 15 in WSOP $50K Poker Players ChampionshipIvey and Hellmuth headline final 15 in WSOP $50K Poker Players Championship

Here we go, WSOP Day 29: It's another action-packed day in Las Vegas, here's what to expect. 

The $1,500 Millionaire Maker will play down to a winner later today. Michael Monroig leads the final nine. 

We'll also see a winner crowned in the $1,000 PLO – 23 remain, but only one will claim the bracelet. Daniel Hachem, son of 2005 Main Event winner Joe Hachem, remains in the hunt. 

The $50,000 Poker Players Championship won't crown a winner today, but if you're looking for a sweat – this is the tournament to keep an eye on. Both Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth remain in the hunt with 15 players remaining.
