Who Will Capture the Gold Bracelet on the Final Day of Event #79: $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em?
Only 24 remain in Event #79: $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em and Seth Davies will be starting the day with a commanding chip lead, bagging 9,425,000. This event will take place at 11 a.m. local time at the 2023 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas in the Silver section.
After two days of action, 24 players will return out of the 2,070 entries, which created a prize pool worth $4,601,300 and a first-place prize of $682,436 to go along with the elusive bracelet.
The road to gold won’t be easy for the 24 remaining players, especially with Davies having such a commanding chip lead. Although Davies has an impressive resume for poker, he is yet to capture a bracelet and appears to have tunnel vision on this mission after dominating the first two days.
However, the rest of the competitors are not going down without a fight. Trailing behind Davies are Justin Kindred (6,000,000), Ramon Fernandez (5,020,000), and bracelet winners James Anderson (4,360,000) and Rui Ferreira (4,300,000).
Also remaining in the field are bracelet winner Galen Hall, bracelet winner Kartik Ved and grinder and entertaining Nick Palma, who will all give Davies plenty of competitive action.
Those still in the tournament have locked up a guaranteed payday of $24,635 with the next pay jump coming at 17th place, where the payout increases to $30,356.
The final players will resume play at 11:00 a.m. local time on Level 28 with blinds at 50,000/100,000/100,000 and play will continue until a champion is crowned. Fifteen-minute breaks will occur after every two levels and a dinner break is yet to be determined.
