There are still 17 players left in the 2010 WSOP Tournament of Champions playing for the $500,000 first prize, and currently Mike Matusow is in the lead.

-Matusow won TOC in 2005 and came third in 2006, how will he do this year?

Matusow has 85,500 in chips and right behind him are Huck Seed (73K) and Johnny Chan (68,6K). The play should resume July 3rd at 7 p.m, but there might be some changes in the schedule:

"Since 17 players survived Day 2, tournament staff had to do some quick rescheduling. They were supposed to return on July 4th already down to nine players, but with 17 left, they decided to resume on Saturday, July 3rd at 7 p.m. to play to a final table. However, if one of the remaining players is still alive in the $25K Six Max event or in Ante Up for Africa, they'll scrap that plan and return at 9 a.m. on Sunday."
