The Main Event of the WSOP Paradise, as it has actually been billed, has actually identified its last table, with popular professional Matt Glantz in the hunt for his very first bracelet. He has his work cut out for him as he gazes up the leaderboard at a number of bigger stacks, nevertheless.
Close Call for the Guarantee
The WSOP Paradise has actually been an experience, more so for the competition organizers than they may have envisioned. A few of the occasions have actually had troubles surpassing their ensured reward swimming pools, with the very first 2 occasions hardly topping a $5 million warranty. The Main Event of the WSOP Paradise schedule, with a $15 million assurance, hardly eked over that overall in drawing 3010 entries to make a $15.050 million reward swimming pool.
That did not appear to matter to the 59 gamers who returned on Wednesday to figure out the last 9 contenders for the inaugural WSOP Paradise Main Event bracelet. Blazing a trail was Henrique Lessa from Brazil, who acquired 8.64 million chips for fight on Day 3. Following him was a familiar name to poker fans, 2023 WSOP Championship Event last tablist Adam Walton, who completed third this summertime in the $10,000 Championship Event. Walton held an 8.48 million stack, which topped Rui Sousa, Stanislav Zegal, and Troy Quenneville to begin the day.
Walton made relocations early in the day to take control of the chip lead. He would remove Jose Zurita after outflopping him (5-3-2) with a 5-2 versus Zurita’s pocket Kings and breaking the 10 million chip mark. Walton would not get an opposition up until Sousa knocked out David Petters to cross over the 10 million chip plateau likewise.
Glantz, for his part, was stuck back in the pack before a huge double-up versus Quenneville. Glantz went to fight with pocket 10s (and his tourney life at stake) versus Quenneville’s A-Q, and the 8 high board complied with Glantz’s set to offer him the hand. That was an essential minute for the developer of the Charity Series of Poker as he doubled to 4.8 million; the news was not as great for Quenneville, as he decreased to just 725K.
The “run great” would continue for Glantz. In another significant clash, Glantz would discover simply the ideal minute to have pocket Aces versus Siarhei Chudapal’s Big Slick. Chudapal would discover a King on the board, however it began the river and it was inadequate to beat Glantz, who increased to 9.1 million chips while Chudapal was entrusted to scraps that went to Michael Skienicka.
3 Tables to a Final Table
When the field reached the last 24 gamers following the supper break, just 3 gamers– Zegal (14.475 million), Sousa (12.8 million), and Jacopo Achille (11.225 million)– were over the 10 million mark, however a number of competitors hid in addition to Glantz. Bryce Yockey, Walton, and Timothy Adams were all in the mix, with Adams on a brief stack. Adams was not able to run that accumulate, leaving in 20th location to Walton after the 2023 WSOP Championship Event gamer got bullets versus Adams’ pocket 8s.
It would take about 6 hours to identify the last table, however it was the last couple of hands of the night that would show to be intriguing. Walton was not among the last 8, leaving in twelfth location, and after Luke Graham was gotten rid of in 8th location, Glantz remained in the lead. That altered, nevertheless, when Daniel Neilson had the ability to make pocket fours withstand Glantz’s A-K after Glantz paired and Neilson struck a set on the K-2-4 flop. Nielson would offer up some chips to Sklenicka in a double, it was still enough for Nielson to have a significant lead going to the last table.1.
Daniel Nielson, 37.4 million
2. Stanislav Zegal, 28 million
(tie) Gabriel Schroeder, 28 million
4. Rui Sousa, 20.7 million
5. Michael Sklenicka, 16 million
6. Matt Glantz, 15.5 million
7. Montgomery McQuade, 4.9 million
