The final day of Event #78: $1,500 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2023 World Series of Poker is here and only 15 hopefuls remain in the hunt for the gold bracelet. Players will return to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas today at 2 p.m. local time to battle it out for the $171,742 first-place prize and the most sought after trophy in all of poker.

Satar Al-Sadoun will return to the chip lead after bagging 4,800,000, which will represent 96 big blinds when play gets underway. Sitting just beneath him in the counts is Thomas Skaggs (3,530,000) and David Hu (3,275,000), both of whom will look to put up a roadblock in Al-Sadoun's path to victory.

The rest of the field will all return with the same goal in mind as both Noah Schwartz (1,100,000) and Jeff Madsen (945,000) will be in the hunt to add to their bracelet count. Other notables to keep an eye on will be Diogo Veiga (630,000) who finished ninth in this event last year and Ryan Coon (2,035,000), who already has a runner-up finish in a $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event at this year's WSOP.

All remaining players are guaranteed to earn at least $8,215, in addition to a $500 bounty for any player they eliminate during the day.

The finale promises to be filled with action as the pace of play has remained fast and furious throughout and with a few players on shorter stacks, we expect to see some early all-ins leading to double ups or early exits as players make their push toward the final table and ultimately, WSOP gold.

Play will consist of 60-minutes levels with blinds starting at 25,000/50,000 and a big blind ante of 50,000 with the tournament playing down to a winner making this is a day of poker you certainly don't want to miss!
