Today marks the conclusion of Event #70: $400 The Colossus No-Limit Hold'em at the 2024 World Series of Poker, hosted by the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Day 3 of this three-day event will see the remaining 92 finalists race towards the first-place prize of $501,250; a handsome return on their original investment of $400.

The eventual winner will have bested a staggering field of 19,337 entrants as they lay claim to the lion's share of the $5,940,883 prize pool, alongside a gold WSOP bracelet.

Junya Matsueda, who bagged the all-important chip lead for the Day 3 restart, is heading into proceedings in pole position. He amassed an impressive stack of 20,925,000 by last night's conclusion and is one of only two players to have eclipsed the twenty million chip mark with his nearest competitor, Joel Vanetten, starting proceedings with an arsenal of 20,650,000.

Today is also shaping up to be a pivotal day for those invested in the $25k Fantasy Draft, as both Matt Glantz (12,825,000) and Ari Engel (4,400,000) are still in the mix as they look to convert this incredibly deep run into another win on their poker resumes.

The action is set to resume at 12 p.m. local time, with the expectation of playing to a winner. The players will resume play at Level 33 with blinds of 200,000/400,000 with a 400,000 big blind ante. They will play 40-minute levels with a 15-minute break after every three levels until just one player remains.
