Could Tuesday be the day Chad Brown captures that elusive first World Series of Poker bracelet?

Brown goes into the final day of the $1,500 Seven-card Stud 8-or-better (Event 53) at the top of the chip counts with 311,000 over the remaining 14-player field.

Those remaining will return to the Rio Hotel at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Amazon Room to play for the championship and $159,390.

“I’ve got to make the final table first,” the goal-oriented Brown said at the end of play around 3 a.m. Tuesday morning. “Trying once again to go for that bracelet.”

Brown has cashed in 26 events WSOP events, dating as far back as 1993, for $995,487, but has yet to finish at the top.

The players he will continue to play against for the bracelet include Brian Swinford, second in chips with 300,000, William Kohler, in third with 232,000. Zak Gilbert is surviving on the short stack with 40,000. The average chip stack is 149,786.

So far, however, Brown has outlasted most of the 466 players who registered for the event on Sunday. Of those who were eliminated today, includes Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein and Norman Chad, who cashed, and Mike Matusow and Bryan Micon, who missed the money. Andy Bloch, who is also on the list with Brown for multiple cashes but no WSOP championships, also finished in the money.
