Yockey Leads Final 13, Arieh Chases 7th Bracelet in $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship
The final day of the 2023 World Series of Poker Paradise has arrived and four of the highly sought after gold bracelets will be awarded. One of them is up for grabs in Event #13: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, which drew a total of 104 entries for a prize pool of $1,040,000.
Only 13 players made it through last night and have locked up a six-figure cash prize on The Bahamas. At least $19,800 is guaranteed, but the winner will take home a top prize of $277,700 for their efforts. Bryce Yockey leads the way as the only finalist with a seven-figure stack as he bagged up 1,085,000 last night. He is followed by Jim Collopy (842,000) and Kazuhiko Yotsushika (692,000). WSOP bracelet winner Stefan Lehner (198,000) as well as popular vlogger Jeff Gross (186,000) are also among those returning at 2 p.m. for the finale.
On top of the cash prizes as part of the prize pool, GGPoker's WSOP Paradise Parlay promotion is also promising further incentives. Josh Arieh, for example, can lock up $25,000 by reaching the final eight and would claim $100,000 if he were to win his third WSOP bracelet in 2023 and 7th overall. He returns fifth in chips with 527,000.
The same opportunity awaits Isaac Haxton (327,000), who has a victory and seventh place to his name during the summer series in Las Vegas. Jim Collopy (842,000) also has a shot at the six-figure bonus as well, with one final table appearance prior.
