Welcome back to another day of action at the 2023 World Series of Poker. An unscheduled Day 5 of Event #39: $1,500 Monster Stack sees Nicholas Gerrity coming back with the chip lead of 112,300,000 in chips.

The Monster Stack saw 8,317 entries coming in during the two Day 1s to create a total prize pool of $11,103,195. Seven players are vying for that first-place prize of $1,162,681 and the hankered-for gold WSOP bracelet that can be won today at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Also still in contention are bracelet winner Jesse Rockowitz in second place while 2009 Main Event champion Joe Cada is the shortest stack at the start of the day. Joining them on the final table are Braxton Dunaway, Colin Robinson, Loic Dobrigna, and Joshua Adcock.
