Welcome to the final day of Online Event #13: $5,300 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller Championship here at the 2023 World Series of Poker.
Although this event was originally on the virtual felts on WSOP.com, the final six players come back to battle on the live felt of the Main Stage at Horseshoe today at noon local time. This is the first-ever online/live hybrid bracelet event held at the WSOP.
A total of 304 players plus 104 reentries joined the action on Day 1 to create a prize pool of $2,040,000. The top 60 players found a minimum cash but all eyes will be on the top prize of $393,516 and the coveted gold bracelet.
After the dust settled it was Sam "ApesSonIMHO" Soverel who bagged the chip lead with a stack of 2,873,636. Close on his heels was Israel’s Yuval "Larrybird84" Bronshtein (2,741,876) and high-roller regular Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs (1,593,689), who round out the top three.
Also in the mix is popular poker YouTuber Ethan "Rampunts" Yau, who comes into the final table fourth in chips and will look to capture his second career gold bracelet with a win here.
