Host of Bracelet Winners Return for Day 3 of Event #19: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship
The third and final day of Event #19: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship at the 2024 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas sees 14 players return from a starting field of 133, all vying for the $308,930 top prize and WSOP gold bracelet.
Two time bracelet winner Marco Johnson currently leads the field with 1,100,000, the only stack north of the one million mark. He is joined by a whole host of other bracelet winners, including Maxx Coleman (630,000), the winner of this event in 2019 Juha Helppi (525,000) and Brazilian pro Renan Bruschi (430,000). In fact, nine of those retaking their seat today have at least one bracelet to their name, which should make for some intense competition.
