Andres Korn: XxXx/3♠8♦3♦3♣/Xx
Maximilian Schindler: XxXx/A♠K♣J♦10♦/Xx
Andres Korn brought in and Maximilian Schindler completed. Korn called and bet out when Schindler checked to him on fourth street. Schindler called and called subsequent bets on fifth and sixth street when Korn made an open pair and trips, respectively.
On seventh street the action went check-check and Schindler tabled Q♠J♠5♥ for Broadway while Korn did not fill up nor made a low with K♥6♠2♦.
Andres Korn: XxXx/8♥2♠9♠J♥/Xx
Bryn Kenney: XxXx/A♥6♣J♣Q♠/Xx
Korn and Bryn Kenney then played a three-bet pot on third street the next hand. On fourth street, Kenney led out and Korn called. The same happened on fifth and sixth street before Korn called Kenney's final bet on seventh street, leaving himself less than an ante behind
Kenney showed 5♦4♥3♦ for a six-low and ace-queen high, and it was miraculously enough to scoop the pot as Korn tabled A♣7x6x for a worse low and ace-jack high.
Andres Korn: K♠10♦/2♠7♦8♥A♦/Xx
Maximilian Schindler: XxXx/A♥J♠6♥- folded fifth street
Ryan Miller: Q♦5♦/4♦9♦2♦9♣/2♥
Korn then chopped a pot before he was automatically all-in again the very next hand. Schindler then completed and Ryan Miller called.
Schindler eventually folded on fifth street to a bet from Miller, and Miller and Korn showed down their hands. Miller had already made a flush and Korn was drawing to just a low. He hit a chance on sixth street, but seventh street bricked out for him as he threw the card into the muck.
The Argentinian was felted in fourth place and was the first player to take home a six-figure score.
Ryan Miller: XxXx/2♥A♦2♠- folded fifth street
Maximilian Schindler: XxXx/A♥A♠7♦
Ryan Miller brought in and Maximilian Schindler completed. Miller called and called a bet from Schindler on fourth street as well, when the latter's ace paired.
Miller paired himself on fifth street, but elected to fold his deuces when faced with another bet from Schindler.
By winning this pot, Schindler gathered a narrow chip lead over his nearest competitor Bryn Kenney.
Down to mere crumbs, Chino Rheem was forced to bring it in with the five of spades. Everyone folded to Bryn Kenney who completed, and Rheem gave it a bit of thought before getting the rest of his stack in.
"You're live," Kenney quipped on sixth street, followed by a "very live" from Rheem. Both players then received their seventh card face down.
"You first," Rheem pointed to Kenney.
"It's a good pair," Kenney said, showing the pair of eights he made.
Rheem carefully squeezed his card and indicated it was a two-sider. It wasn't the four he needed, though, but the five for an inferior pair instead.
"Good game, guys," Rheem said as he left the table.
Eddie Blumenthal: 8♥6♠/7♦8♥K♠6♦/4♦
Andres Korn: XxXx/4♠9♥- folded fourth street
Bryn Kenney: A♠K♦/7♣A♦5♥A♣/5x
On the very first hand of the day, Andres Korn brought in and Bryn Kenney completed. Short stack Eddie Blumenthal made the call and so did Korn.
On fourth street, Kenney bet, Korn folded and Blumenthal raised. Kenney three-bet and Blumenthal got all of his chips in.
Kenney already had a pair of aces and made trips on sixth street. Blumenthal had two pair at that point, but failed to fill up on seventh street. Kenney did so in his stead, however, and his full house scooped to pot to send Blumenthal to the rail in sixth place.
After 11 hours of play on Day 3, six players remained in Event #63: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship of the 2023 World Series of Poker. Thus, it was decided to schedule a fourth day in order to crown a champion.
Ryan Miller, Maximilian Schindler, Chino Rheem, and Eddie Blumenthal are all trying to capture their maiden bracelet in this event. Miller, Rheem and Blumenthal all have WSOP runner-up finishes under their belt and will be eager to take home the gold if they make it to heads-up play in this event. Meanwhile Andres Korn and Bryn Kenney already know the taste of glory and are aiming to add a second bracelet to their prize cabinet.
Miller leads the small pack coming back to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas at 2 p.m. local time with 2,230,000 in chips, good for 14 big bets at the start of play. Kenney and Schindler are on his heels, however, with both hovering around the two million mark as well. Meanwhile, Rheem and Blumenthal find themselves the short stacks, each bringing a mere three big bets into Day 4.
