There are just six players still in contention for poker glory in Event #29: $100,000 High Roller at the 2023 World Series of Poker. As one of the largest buy-in events of the summer, it attracted some of the biggest names in the poker world and a star-studded final table awaits the third and final day to see who will reign supreme.
Leading the way is online poker crusher Jans Arends, who will enter the day with a whopping 16,625,000 chips. Arends is coming off a third-place finish in Event #23: $50,000 High Roller and is seeking his first live WSOP gold bracelet to go with the online one he already has. Arends says he learned a lot from being on the center stage just days ago and will look to use that experience to finish on top today.
Not far in the distance is seasoned veteran Cary Katz who has begun to prove that he can mix it up with some of the best players in the world. Katz, a long-time businessman, always loves the challenge of battling the best in the game and would love nothing more than to add a piece of WSOP jewelry to his name. He will be returning to a stack of 12,775,000 after a roller coaster on Day 2.
Also in the mix is maybe the most unknown player of the final six, Biao Ding. While being a constant in the high-stakes buy-in events throughout this summer, Ding has yet to make an impression on the poker community thus far. However, today could be the day when he lets everyone know who he is. Ding is currently sitting on a stack of 8,800,000 and could do plenty of damage.
When you look at the bottom half of the leaderboard, there is no question about the quality of poker that you will find. With 12 WSOP bracelets among them, it is certainly within the realm of possibilities that one of them could come back and capture the title today. Adrian Mateos (7,175,000), Jeremy Ausmus (5,750,000), and Chance Kornuth (4,600,000) will look to hunt down the leaders and add another big payday to their already impressive poker resumes.

The cards are scheduled to go in the air at Noon PDT with around 12 minutes remaining in Level 21 and the blinds at 125,000/250,000 with a 250,000 big blind ante. Going forward, the levels will continue to be 40 minutes in length until a champion is crowned. The PokerGO live stream will be on a 60-minute delay, starting at 1 p.m. PDT, thus the PokerNews live updates will also be on delay to not spoil any of the action.
Each player has already locked up at least $469,464 for their efforts thus far but it is guaranteed that they will all have their sights set on the first-place prize of $2,576,729. For many of them, it will also go down as their largest career score and just add to the legacy that they are trying to build.
