Don't read any more if you don't want to know the final standings of certain players in the 2005 World Series of Poker.
Going into today there are 27 players with an average chip stack of $2,081,000.
Mike "The Mouth" Matusow leads the pack with $5,140,000 in chips.
Phil Ivey is the closest competition to Matusow. Ivey has a chip stack of $4,635,000.
The final big-name pro is Greg "Fossil Man" Raymer. He is fifth in chips with $3,840,000.
This is a colossal achievement for Raymer. Whether he wins the event or not, making it to the top thirty players, out of 5,619, is a better accomplishment than Dan Harrington making it to the final table in 2003 and 2004. If Raymer wins this year, he will be one of only four players to ever obtain such a triumph.
Finishing in the money were some top players.
Layne Flack won $39,075 for 194th place.
Howard Lederer finished 133rd and took home $54,965.
Jason Lester won $107,950 for 76th place.
John Juanda finished 31st and won $274,090.
