It was an exciting day of play for the seniors in Event #47: $1,000 Seniors Championship No-Limit Hold'em at the 2022 WSOP at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas. The field had been whittled down from 7,188 combined entries from the two starting flights, to just 198 seniors left to start Day 3. When it was time to bag, just 18 remained in contention for the bracelet.

Kathy Liebert bagged the biggest stack at the end of the night, with 21,000,000. Liebert was running hot all day, getting dealt pocket aces five different times, at one point running her stack up to over double the next biggest in the field. Liebert will hope to ride her big stack and lucky streak to her second WSOP bracelet.

She has just one fellow bracelet holder left in the field, Argentinian Andres Korn. Korn bagged one of the bigger stacks at the end of the night at 10,550,000. Other big stacks included Americans Alexander Hill (12,500,000), Eric Smidinger (13,275,000) and Day 2 chip leader Ben Sarnoff (15,500,000).

The remaining field is predominantly American but does include Australian Jan Pettersson (10,525,000), Canadian Domenico Scalamogna (6,350,000), Italian Biagio Morciano (6,000,000), and Ukranian Valerii Lubenets, who bagged just 175,000 at the end of the night, less than one big blind when play resumes.
