Will Steve Zolotow Add to his Legendary Status? Tune In to the $1,500 Freezeout from 1 P.M. Onwards
Out of a field that once contained 1,774 hopefuls, only 10 remain after two days to battle for a piece of poker history: the coveted WSOP gold bracelet and the $364,899 top prize.
Those still battling it out in Event #34: $1,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em will play down to a winner when all the action kicks off at 1 p.m. local time.
The biggest name left in the field is undoubtedly Steve Zolotow, who is one elimination away from reaching an incredible 22nd-career WSOP final table and looking for his third bracelet overall. This is Zolotow's second WSOP final table of 2022 after last having reached a final table back in 2010. He finds himself in the middle of the pack and will certainly put up a fight after finishing fourth in Event #3: $2,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em.
Also in the field looking for their second bracelets are Justin Pechie and Jeremy Wien. Pechie comes into Day 3 in third place while Wien has a little more work to do as he begins in ninth.
Everyone is chasing a French duo at the top as Samuel Bifarella and Maxime Parys are currently the chip leaders, separated by a little over two million chips.
The players will play down to a winner today, taking 15-minute breaks every two 60-minute levels, with a possible dinner break that will be determined later in the day.
