Get Ready For Final Table Action in the 2023 WSOP Main Event

Connor Richards

After a day of rest for the nine remaining hopefuls, the final table of the record-breaking $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is upon us.

All remaining players aside from Toby Lewis, arguably the most accomplished player left in the field, are guaranteed their largest-ever poker payday with a minimum of $900,000 locked up for the ninth-place finisher. Should they make a pay jump, all players will receive at least seven figures with a record eight-figure of score of $12,100,000 up top for the winner.

2023 WSOP Main Event Final Table

Seat	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Steven Jones	United States	90,300,000	75
2	Juan Maceiras	Spain	68,000,000	57
3	Daniel Holzner	Italy	31,900,000	27
4	Adam Walton	United States	143,800,000	120
5	Ruslan Prydryk	Ukraine	50,700,000	42
6	Dean Hutchison	United Kingdom	41,700,000	35
7	Toby Lewis	United Kingdom	19,800,000	17
8	Daniel Weinman	United States	81,700,000	68
9	Jan-Peter Jachtmann	Germany	74,600,000	62

Seattle resident turned Las Vegas transplant Adam Walton is in familiar territory as he finished 42nd in the 2021 WSOP Main Event and now finds himself as chip leader at his first WSOP final table. Arizona's Steven Jones is next in the counts and behind him is a pair of bracelet winners in Germany's Jan-Peter Jachtmann and Georgia's Daniel Weinman, who will likely have the support of his good friends and recent six-time bracelet winners Shaun Deeb and Josh Arieh.

Day 7 chip leader Juan Maceiras dipped to the middle of the counts on Day 8 but now looks to add to his family's poker legacy that started with his father, Juan Antonio "Vietcong01" Maceiras, after a day of rest that may have involved some artillery.

"I might go shooting, I don’t know," he told PokerNews on Day 8 when asked what he was going to do on his off day. "I don’t know what to do, we’ll see. But no poker, for sure.”

Rounding out the counts are Ukraine's Ruslan Prydryk, Scottland's Dean Hutchison and Italy's Daniel Holzner, who perhaps has the most interesting Main Event story as he was staked by his friends and family as a birthday gift. A big party for them is surely in the works as the Italian farmer will likely return to the farm with seven figures.

Action on Day 9 will pick up at 1:30 p.m. local time on Level 38 with blinds of 600,000/1,200,000/1,200,000 with 1:49:10 left in the level. PokerNews will be reporting hand-for-hand coverage on an hour-long delay to prevent any spoilers of the PokerGO stream.

Matt O'Halloran

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Hand #19: Juan Maceiras raised to 2,500,000 with A♣Q♥ and Adam Walton called from the hijack holding the 2♠2♥. They checked to the 5♦4♠3♥Q♠ turn on which Maceiras bet 3,000,000 and Walton called. The 9♥ river then saw Maceiras bet another 6,000,000 and Walton tank-folded.

Hand #20: Walton opened to 2,400,000 and won the pot uncontested with his K♦Q♣.

Hand #21: Daniel Holzner raised to 2,400,000 with the A♥A♣ and received a call from Jan-Peter Jachtmann in the small blind with the 10♦10♣. They headed to the 10♠8♠4♣ flop on which Jachtmann checked, prompting a bet worth 1,800,000 by Holzner and the call by Jachtmann.

The 7♦ fell on the turn and Jachtmann checked once more, Holzner checked back to see the 7♥ for free.

Jachtmann now bet 9,000,000 and Holzner went deep into the tank, having counted the chips he had at his disposal. The Italian called and mucked when Jachtmann showed his 10♦10♣ for a full house, tens full of sevens.

Level 39 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Hand #43: Steven Jones raised to 3,200,000 and Daniel Holzner three-bet to 16,300,000 with 100,000 behind. It folded back to Jones who reraised and the Italian called all-in.

Daniel Holzner: A♦J♣
Steven Jones: 10♠10♥

It was a classic flip and the rails on both sides of the Thunderdome got loud. In the end, Jones' rail had reason to chant as the Q♣Q♠3♥2♥4♠ board ended the run of apple tree farmer Holzner in ninth place for $900,000.

Hand #45: Juan Maceiras open-jammed a stack of 17,500,000 from middle position and Toby Lewis called in the big blind.

Juan Maceiras: K♥9♣
Toby Lewis: A♦10♥

Maceiras needed to hit a king or a nine to keep his Main Event dreams alive and couldn't do so on the flop of 2♠A♠J♠ that had him drawing thin as Lewis paired his ace. The 4♣ turn had Maceiras drawing dead ahead of the K♣ river and the Day 7 chip leader was eliminated in eighth place for $1,125,000.
