Just like that, the RG Council Bluffs Main Event field is down to three tables. The action is staying at a hot pace and we should arrive at the final table in the next few hours. Dan Martin and Joseph Walters own 25 percent of the chips in play between the two of them and are battling on opposing tables.
In the first hand after the draw, Walters eliminated Chris Juul in a preflop confrontation with pocket kings against the king-queen of Juul. Walters sits with 900,000 and Martin is only a few blinds behind him.
Table 10 breaks once the field hits 18 and then play goes from there to a final table. Below is a look at the full redraw along with chip counts for the field.
