Who Will Reach the Final Table of Event #3: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em SHOOTOUT?
At 12 noon today, Event #3: #3,000 No-Limit Hold'em SHOOTOUT resumes with 50 players returning to 10 tables. Just one player from each table will make it through to tomorrow's final table.
In total, 363 players entered the event yesterday, spread over 50 tables. Those players created a total prize pool of $980,100. Every player who made it through to today's Day 2 is guaranteed $6,302 for doing so, but all will have their eyes set on that gold WSOP bracelet and the first-place prize of $226,128.
Many well-known players are still in the running. Taylor Paur and Jan-Eric Schwippert will be looking to reach the final table again like last year. Paul finished in 10th place in 2017 while Schwippert left the tournament in fourth. Also keep an eye on Phil Hellmuth who is seated at the same table as Paur, Eli Elezra, Chris Bell, and Ihar Soika. After adding up all their WSOP wins, Table #413 will sport a whopping amount of 19 WSOP bracelets and 1 circuit ring.
Another table to watch is Table #406 with Sam Phillips, Tim Reilly, Scott Stewart, John Andress, and 888poker ambassador Chris Moorman.
