Picking action up on fourth street, Lawrence Brandt bet and was called by Roberto Marin.

Level 31

Razz

Roberto Marin has taken early control of today's action by winning four of the first six Razz hands, with none of them getting past fifth street.

Regardless, with the limits at 250,000 / 500,000, those pots have easily and quickly vaulted him into the chip lead.

Player	Chips	Progress
Roberto Marin	6,000,000 1,535,000	1,535,000
Tomasz Gluszko	3,650,000 -1,670,000	-1,670,000

The Muck: 19-Minute Tank at the WSOP Main Event Final Table

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With millions of dollars at stake, it's reasonable for players at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table to take their time to think when facing a difficult decision. But poker Twitter wasn't so understanding when eventual runner-up Adrian Attenborough tanked for 19 minutes in one hand before folding nothing but a pair of fours during heads-up play.

In the newest installment of The Muck, we take a look at the hand that tilted many on social media.

Attenborough, an Aussie, lost a heads-up match against Norway's Espen Jorstad with the world title on the line. During that fairly brief battle, the runner-up faced two all-in wagers from Jorstad, and both times he went into a lengthy tank with the hand often referred to as "flat tire."

Final Three Return Sunday to Crown a $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. Champion

Three days wasn’t enough to determine a winner in Event #84: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. so the final three players will return to the Bally’s Event Center at 2 p.m. PT to battle one final time for the WSOP gold bracelet and $205,139 first prize.

Each of Tomasz Gluszko, Roberto Marin, and Lawrence Brandt had their moments atop the leaderboard on Day 3, but no one could close it out before the end of ten levels, so here we are with the World Series of Poker’s version of overtime.

Day 4 Seating and Chip Counts

SEAT	PLAYER	COUNTRY	CHIP COUNT	BIG BETS
1	Lawrence Brandt	United States	3,300,000	6
2	Roberto Marin	United States	4,465,000	8
3	Tomasz Gluszko	Poland	5,320,000	10

While he does have the shortest stack of the remaining trio of hopefuls, Brandt has had the most success at the WSOP with $434,882 in cashes, and he’ll be looking to join recent Main Event winner (and Tag Team event winner with Patrick Leonard) Espen Jorstad as a two-time bracelet winner in 2022, as he won Event #58: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better just a couple of weeks ago.

Chip Leader Gluszko could make history as the first Polish-born player to win a live WSOP bracelet. The country does have an online winner from international events on GGPoker in Dominik Panka, but none ever on the live felt.

Meanwhile, Marin comes in as the Cinderella story of the final table with just $5,176 in WSOP earnings over three cashes. Having guaranteed himself at least $87,687 for his work in this event so far, he’s already blown away his previous best WSOP cash of $2,597 from the Mini Main Event this summer, and he’s also surpassed his best-ever live cash of almost $68,000 from an event in Florida in 2013.

Action will resume at Level 31 with the first hand of Razz, with Stud game antes of 75,000 with a 250,000 bring-in and 250,000 / 500,000 limits. Flop games will also have limits of 250,000 / 500,000, so with the stakes so high, it will be a sprint to the finish.

PokerNews will have all the action from this frenetic finish to the final mixed game event of the 53rd World Series of Poker from its new home at Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas.
