Only 21 Players Remain in Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship
Action from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas continues with Day 3 of Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship getting underway at 1 p.m. local time.
A record field of 212 players made their way to the Paris ballroom to try and claim their piece of the $1,971,600 total prize pool, but Day 2 saw only the top 32 players able to take home a payday of at least $16,386 after Michael Chow exited on the bubble.
Dan Shak, Nacho Barbero, Corey Hochman and James Chen (Taiwan) were the next participants to make a small detour to the payout desk before leaving the tournament area, as a flurry of bust outs happened shortly after the players made the money.
At the top of the Day 3 chip counts is Jay Kerbel (1,065,000). The California poker player has captured multiple Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better titles in the past, including at the 2021 Rock N’ Roll Poker Open and the 2022 Lucky Hearts Poker Open in Hollywood, FL.
Kerbel has his work cut out for him, though, as not far behind and second in chips is two-time bracelet winner Luis Velador, with 1,040,000 in chips, and Poker Hall of Famer and nine-time bracelet winner Erik Seidel, with 1,010,000. Seidel won the $2,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better gold bracelet in 1993 and wherever he finishes in this event, he will take his total WSOP earnings over the $7.45 million mark.
John Hennigan, another Poker Hall of Famer and six-time bracelet winner, rounds out the top ten. The long-time pro was among the big hitters throughout Day 2 and finished the day with a stack of 630,000.
Players looking to spin it up today include Christopher Stephan, a Day 2 entrant who was able to grind his way into the money but finished on the short stack with 160,000, and poker legend and three-time bracelet winner Sam Farha, who battled a swingy day, but ultimately finished the day toward the bottom of the chip counts.

The 21 remaining players have already locked up $17,923 in prize money, but as usual, each contestant will be setting their sights on the $492,795 first-place prize and coveted gold bracelet. The day will start at Level 18 with blinds of 10,000-20,000 and limits of 20,000-40,000 and will play 90-minute levels until the tournament reaches five players, with a 60-minute dinner break after Level 21 (approx. 7:30 p.m.).

Damjan Radanov Eliminated in 21st Place ($17,923)
Nível 18
: Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Three way action saw Sam Farha, start-of-the-day chip leader Jay Kerbel and Damjan Radanov involved in the action with Farha as the aggressor, betting each street of the A♣J♣5♥K♦3♠ board. Radanov ended up all-in with his short stack while Kerbel folded on the river to another bet by Farha.
"You got nut nut?" Radanov inquired and Farha indeed rolled over the Q♥10♦4♦2♥ for broadway and the nut low. Radanov sighed, double-checked his cards once more and then tossed them into the muck.
"I got fucked," he grinned while checking the payouts as he bowed out on a pay jump in 21st place for $17,923.

Freeman Gets Shorter
Nível 18
: Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
David Williams raised it up and was called only by Zachary Freeman in the small blind. They checked the K♣8♥6♦ flop and that brought them to the 6♠ turn. Freeman checked and Williams bet, sending his opponent into the tank.
Freeman ultimately folded and dropped to a mere four bets.

Stephan Three-Quarters Yass
Nível 18
: Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Christopher Stephan raised from the small blind and Robert Yass called from the big blind.
The two players took a flop heads-up of A♣K♣8♦ and Yass check-called a bet from Stephan. The dealer peeled 2♦ on turn and things became a little more interesting, as this time Yass raised a bet from Stephan, which Stephan called.
Both players would check the 9♠ river and Stephan tabled A♠6♥5♠3♥ for a pair of aces and fifty-three low, and Yass showed 9♣5♦5♥3♦ for a pair of nines and the same fifty-three low, giving away three-quarters of the pot to Stephan.

Zachary Freeman doubled through David Williams before James Chen took a small pot off Bryce Yockey on a board of J♥9♥5♠6♦K♥ when Yockey check-folded to a bet on the river.
Luis Velador then lost a chunk of his early profit to Robert Yass, who bet the turn and river of a Q♥6♦5♣10♠3♦ board. Velador called the turn but folded to a bet on the river.
