Day 3 of Event #42: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship at the 2024 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas starts at 1 p.m. with 11 players left aiming for the bracelet and the $260,658 top prize out of the $995,100 prizepool.
The returning field is an absolutely stacked one with nine of the eleven players being bracelet winners already and seven $25K Fantasy participants. Interestingly, one of the two who are not, is start of day chip leader Mike Lang who comes in with a substantial chip lead. The Iowa native has just under $200,000 in career WSOP earnings and secures a career best score with a 5th place finish or higher.
