Remy Bhend Goes from Worst to First

There are a couple of stories at the final table right now. Remy Bhend is the chip leader with 1.2 million, almost twice as much as second-place Ed Tonnellier who has 710k. Bhend was the nut low stack when they were five-handed, and nearly felted, before he staged his comeback, thanks in part to getting a low in O8 to survive against Benham Esfahanizadeh.

Esfahanizadeh has his own story to tell. He max-late registered this game after busting late in the Main Event tonight. He got in with less than 10 big bets, but was able to spin that up to survive to at least fourth place. He has 525k for third place right now, a pretty decent run after entering at the last minute.
