Nam Le is still in with a modest chip lead and 29 players remaining. When asked if he had any words for Mizrachi, the current leader in the POY race, Le replied, “I’m rooting for you Miz. I mean, I plan on winning this, but if I don’t, I know you’ll be getting a bonus from Absolute.” In his usual diplomatic fashion he added. “I wish him all the best.”
