Today marks the conclusion of Event #87: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold'em at the 2024 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Day 2 of this two-day event will see the remaining 88 finalists race towards the first-place prize of $785,486.

The eventual winner will have bested the sizable field size of 1,042 entrants as they lay claim to the lion's share of the $4,793,200 prize pool as well as a gold WSOP bracelet.

Brazilian dominated proceedings last night as all three podium positions among the chip counts were occupied by the South American natives. Claiming the top spot was Felipe Boianovsky who amassed a stack of 1,795,000 for the restart this afternoon. Boianovsky is comfortably 400,000 chips over his nearest competitors Felipe Ketzer and Yuri Dzivielevski with 1,380,000 and 1,375,000 respectively.

Brazil has one of the strongest reputations in the game and one player who remains at the forefront of this campaign is Dzivielevski. No stranger to WSOP success, Dzivielevski has already amassed a total of five gold bracelets and will be looking to add a sixth to his impressive World Series track record.

Not far behind Dzivielevski, with 1,370,000 in chips, is Patrick Leonard who solidified himself as one of the toughest competitors in the live and online settings. Leonard has a tremendous amount of titles under his belt already, but a win today would be the second bracelet of his career.
