Multiple Bracelet Winners in Contention for Limit Hold'em Glory
There will be 17 players returning to the felt for the third and final day of Event #58: $3,000 Limit Hold'em at the 2023 World Series of Poker, all in search of the gold bracelet that awaits the winner. There is also the majority of the $702,210 prize pool still up for grabs with the winner taking home $165,250.
Leading the way into Day 3 of the tournament is Jason Daly who had an impressive showing in the final levels of Day 2. Daly amassed a chip stack of 1,110,000, edging out a couple of other players hot on his heels. Daniel Maczuga finished last night with 1,100,000 chips and Nick Pupillo is coming off his first WSOP bracelet victory just one week ago with 1,040,000 chips.
Some other WSOP bracelet winners still in the hunt and looking to add to their collection include Tom Koral (805,000), David Bach (775,000), along with short stacks Daniel Idema (205,000), and Joe McKeehen (150,000). All of the players returning for Day 3 are still in contention for some limit hold'em glory as the leaderboard could turn on a dime at any point.
