Event #89: $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship
Dia 1b Concluído
The inaugural $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship No-Limit Hold'em at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) proved popular with 1,161 entrants turning out for Day 1a of the event. We are still awaiting an official count for Day 1b, but with 593 players making it through Day 1b (for a total Day 2 field of 917) expectations are high.
Jonathan Newman (573,500) headed up the Day 1a chip counts, and holds his position after the Day 1b bags have been counted up. The Day 1b chip leader was Dusti Smith with a stack of 492,000, falling a fair bit short of Newman's stack.
Zachary Zaret (465,000) of Canada and Boris Kolev (417,000) of Bulgaria round out the Day 1b podium positions.

In the 846th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Kyna England are joined at Level 9 Studio by PokerNews Pennsylvania Ambassador Keith Becker, who served as special co-host to talk about the latest happenings at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
That included a controversial hand from Day 3 that some viewed as an angle and/or scummy, as well as the wild seven-bet bubble hand on Day 4. What two hands could inspire two big stacks to get 120 big blinds all in preflop on the money bubble? Find out here. The trio also take a look at the WSOP Main Event payouts and how they compare to past years, which former Main Event champs lasted the longest, and how both Mo Nuwwarah and Josh Reichard took pre-tournament misfortune and used it as motivation to make a deep run into Day 5.
Chad also shares why he was inspired to turn extra links from his WSOP gold bracelet into a pair of gold earrings, while Keith talks about his life in the Keystone State, which includes a successful Twitch stream. As a matter of fact, he even streamed from the recently completed Global Poker x PokerNews Cup, which crowned a pair of Freeroll Finale Champions.
Finally, hear about recent WSOP gold bracelet winners including Garth Yettick, Carsten Heidemann, Matthew Alsante, and Chance Kornuth, who took down Event #85: $1,000 Flip & Go for his fourth gold bracelet. Hear from Kornuth himself in our winner's interview. Oh, and don't forget your regular $25K Fantasy update.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
