Who Will be Crowned Champion in Event #3: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em SHOOTOUT
The final ten players in Event #3: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em SHOOTOUT will be returning today at 12 p.m. to play for not only the $226,218 first prize but also the prestigious WSOP bracelet.
The third event of the WSOP will be giving a minimum of $14,437 to the final table and a pay jump will be happening after every elimination, with the top three getting a six-figure payday.
The final table has two very recognizable names in Joe McKeehen and Joe Cada, who both are main event champions with two bracelets and over $10 million in WSOP cashes. The only other player at the table that has a bracelet is Anthony Reategui who won his bracelet in the 2005 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout and will be looking to get his second today.
Notable players that will be chasing their first bracelet include Sam Phillips who has almost $2 million in career earnings, Ihar Soika who has $3.2 million in career earnings, Harry Lodge who has just under $1 million in career earnings, and Joshua Turner who has over $1.3 million in career earnings as well as 58 WSOP cashes.
