A dramatic day at the 2024 World Series of Poker has an added twist, as the poker rooms will be buzzing at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. While thousands get set to take their shot on Day 1a of the WSOP Main Event, two players will return for an added Day 4 to decide the title in Event #74: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship.

Both Arash Ghaneian and Richard Sklar have locked up least $250,984, with additional prize money and the exclusive WSOP gold bracelet to play for. Sklar will carry the chip lead after bagging 5,530,000 on what was scheduled to be the final day of the tournament.

Ghaneian collected 4,495,000 chips, sitting in second while also looking to earn a second career bracelet. The two players will each return with more than 20 big bets, so it remains anyone's title to claim.

Sklar is know as a notorious golf bettor, and the 71-year-old also boasts four WSOP final tables on his poker resume. No matter the result, this will be his best WSOP finsh after taking third place in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E Championship back in 2014.

Ghaneian won his WSOP bracelet in 2015 after taking down the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. event. Wednesday's champion will have outlasted 167 players to earn the top prize of $376,476.
