A Winner Will Be Crowned In Event #36: $800 No-Limit Hold'em DeepStack Starting at 1 PM
Today, the continuation of the 2024 World Series of Poker will see the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas play host to the conclusion of Event #36: $800 No-Limit Hold'em DeepStack. Yesterday, of the 4,278 entries, 259 returned to the felt to battle it down to the first-place prize of $342,551 and the converted gold WSOP bracelet. However, in an unexpected twist, the final nine players bagged and tagged last night and will be returning today, for an unscheduled Day 3, to determine the winner.
Heading into the final table in pole position is Timur Margolin who managed to amass an impressive sum of 44,350,000. Margolin is one of the most experienced players at the final table, having already claimed two career WSOP bracelets, but will be looking to add a third by the end of proceedings today.
Not far behind Margolin is Michael Allen who will have an arsenal of 31,400,000 chips that he will be using to try and claim his career-first WSOP bracelet. Both Allen and Margolin have nearly twice the number of chips as their third-closest competitor Vaughan Machado.
With just nine big blinds separating Machado and the table short stack, Cole Uvila, action is expected to come thick and fast right from the first level of the day.
