All eyes will be on Merson, who would be named the World Series of Poker Player of the Year with a win following his earlier successes at WSOP events over the summer. 

The final day of play Tuesday will see the 2012 WSOP Main Event champion crowned, and it will be Merson who takes the chip lead into action. He bagged up 88.35 million, while Sylvia is in second place with 62.75 million. Balsiger will be bringing up the rear with 46.875 million, but this is really anyone's ball game.

The action is scheduled to kick off at 5:45 PM local time or 8:45 PM EDT.
