It was an exciting day of play for the seniors in Event #47: $1,000 Seniors Championship No-Limit Hold'em at the 2022 WSOP at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas. The field had been whittled down from 7,188 combined entries from the two starting flights, to just 198 seniors left to start Day 3. When it was time to bag, just 18 remained in contention for the bracelet.
Kathy Liebert bagged the biggest stack at the end of the night, with 21,000,000. Liebert was running hot all day, getting dealt pocket aces five different times, at one point running her stack up to over double the next biggest in the field. Liebert will hope to ride her big stack and lucky streak to her second WSOP bracelet.
She has just one fellow bracelet holder left in the field, Argentinian Andres Korn. Korn bagged one of the bigger stacks at the end of the night at 10,550,000. Other big stacks included Americans Alexander Hill (12,500,000), Eric Smidinger (13,275,000) and Day 2 chip leader Ben Sarnoff (15,500,000).
The remaining field is predominantly American but does include Australian Jan Pettersson (10,525,000), Canadian Domenico Scalamogna (6,350,000), Italian Biagio Morciano (6,000,000), and Ukranian Valerii Lubenets, who bagged just 175,000 at the end of the night, less than one big blind when play resumes.

The 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #50: $250,000 Super High Roller, the biggest buy-in of the summer, began with 56 entrants, and on Saturday the final eight returned to play down to a winner and their piece of a $13,944,000 prize pool. Alex Foxen began as the chip leader, and it took him just five hours to go wire-to-wire on his way to his first gold bracelet, and the $4,563,700 top prize, a new career-high.
“It really means a lot to me. It’s kind of been a monkey on the back. I’ve always wanted a bracelet. I’ve had some close spots and always been disappointed … this feels like a really special one to get my first in,” said Foxen, who was just one of three players at the final table without a bracelet. “To me, what means the most is consistent performance at the highest stakes. This is one of those, so it feels really good.”
Prior to the win, Foxen had just shy of $22 million in lifetime earnings, including a prior career-best $2,160,000 for finishing second in the 2018 Super High Roller Bowl.

Brian Brunner: 
The flop came
