46 Players Remain on Day 3 of Event #46: $5,000 No Limit Hold’em 6-Handed
After two days of play, 46 players out of the original 920 will return to the 2022 WSOP at Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas at 3:00 p.m. PT for Day 3 of Event #46: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed, where they will continue their quest for a spot at the final table.
Play will resume at Level 21 with blinds at 10,000-25,000 and will continue throughout the day until there are 5 players remaining. They will then bag their chips for the night and finish up tomorrow when a new WSOP bracelet winner will be crowned and will take home the $771,765 top prize.
A total prize pool of $4,243,500 had 138 spots being paid. With a star-studded field, many notables including Damian Salas, Ryan Riess, Daniel Negreanu, Norbert Szecsi already took home some of the prize pool and there are still many big names into divvy up the rest over the next two days.
Argentina's Ezequiel Waigel is the chip leader heading into Day 3, sitting on a stack of 3,440,000. Waigel has plenty of previous cashed but will be looking to add his first bracelet to his resume.
Rounding out the top five in chips are Anthony Spinella (2,575,000), Stephen Song (2,485,000), Johan Martinet (2,150,000), and Justin Bond (2,145,000)
