Welcome to Day 8 of Event #76: $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker. Cards go in the air at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas at 2 p.m. local time for the final 15 hopefuls.
The largest-ever Main Event drew 10,043 players for a prize pool of $93,399,900 and a top prize of $12,100,000.
The spot at the top of the leaderboard belongs to Spain’s Juan Maceiras, who bagged over 100 million chips and a lead of 41 big blinds over his next closest competitor. That competitor is Adam Walton, thanks to a full house at the end of the night that eliminated Anirban Das and propelled Walton into second place.

Hamburg’s Jan-Peter Jachtmann is in the third spot on the leaderboard and he returns with a shot at his second WSOP bracelet. His previous win and career-best score of $661,000 came in 2012 in his regular game of Pot-Limit Omaha.
The top five is rounded out by Steven Jones and English player Toby Lewis, who finished in the fifth spot after spinning it up after the three-table redraw.
Other returning players from the United Kingdom include Sachin Joshi, Dean Hutchison, and Jack O’Neill.
Another Pot-Limit Omaha bracelet winner, Daniel Weinman, remains in the mix – as well as Day 6 chip leader Joshua Payne, who will return in eighth place. Alec Torelli is also lurking outside the top ten after several late night doubles kept him in contention.
The rest of the contenders include Ruslan Prydryk, Jose Aguilera, Daniel Holzner, and Cong Pham.

Joshua Payne raised to 1,600,000 from the button with 6♦5♣ and Jan-Peter Jachtmann called from the small blind with Q♣10♣. Alec Torelli looked down at Q♥8♠ and defended his big blind.
The flop was 5♦4♠J♥, and both players checked to Payne, who bet 2,300,000. It was too much, so Jachtmann and Torelli got away from it.
Two hands later, Ruslan Prydryk raised to 1,600,000 with A♦10♠, and Jose Aguilera called from the big blind with 6♥6♠. The flop was 9♦9♥3♥ and both players checked. They also checked the Q♥ turn before A♠ fell on the river. Aguilera checked once more and subsequently folded when Prydryk bet 1,500,000.

Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Jose Aguilera limped the small blind with A♣8♥, and Daniel Weinman, who held 10♥5♠, checked in the big blind to the J♣6♦3♣ flop.
Aguilera checked. Weinman bet 1,200,000, and the Spaniard came along to see the K♥ on the turn.
Aguilera checked once more prompting Weinman to make it 3,200,000. That ended the action right there as Aguilera folded.
Aguilera then raised the button to 1,800,000 and Weinman three-bet to 5,400,000 in the small blind. The initial raiser glanced at his table neighbour and Weinman couldn't help but grin before they engaged in some table chat.
One minute later, Aguilera sent his cards into the muck.
