Jour 3 a débuté
Event #35: $10,000 Secret Bounty at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas will today be played to its conclusion on Day 3 as we crown a winner of this inaugural event.
For this newly introduced format of the secret bounty to the WSOP, players and staff alike were greatly impressed with the turnout of 568 entries by the end of late registration on Day 1.
By its conclusion, 142 players progressed to Day 2 to see the introduction of the secret bounties, of which only eight remain going into the final day’s play.
Chris Klodnicki is currently in pole position as he retains the chip lead with 6,615,000. Following closely behind Klodnicki is Jeremy Ausmus with an equally impressive 6,475,000. However, with the remaining six players so closely bunched together, today promises to comprise of big swings and all-in confrontations.
Half of the remaining eight finalists have previously earned a WSOP gold bracelet in their careers, most notably Ausmus who is today looking to add a sixth to his collection. But for Aram Oganyan, Eric Yanovsky, Daniel Rezaei and Tracy Nguyen securing a win today would yield a career-first bracelet victory.
Seat | Name | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Aram Oganyan | United States | 5,410,000 | 27 |
2 | Barak Wisbrod | Israel | 4,135,000 | 21 |
3 | Daniel Rezaei | Austria | 3,085,000 | 15 |
4 | Jeremy Ausmus | United States | 6,475,000 | 32 |
5 | Eric Yanovsky | United States | 3,125,000 | 16 |
6 | Angel Guillen | Mexico | 4,150,000 | 21 |
7 | Chris Klodnicki | United States | 6,615,000 | 33 |
8 | Tracy Nguyen | United States | 1,860,000 | 9 |
Each remaining player is guaranteed a payout of $73,657 but all have their eyes on the $733,317 for first place. In addition to the available payouts, secret bounties are still on the line for each elimination ranging from $5000-$10,000. However, with the $250,000 bounty already claimed, vast pay jumps and the all-important 35th gold bracelet looming, the attention of players and fans will certainly be focused on the race to first place.
Day 3 will take place on the 16th of June at 4 p.m. local time on the main feature table in the Horseshoe event centre as we play down to a winner through forty-minute levels. Alongside breaks of 15 minutes every three levels, today's structure will also include a dinner break of which the time and length is to be determined.

Kevin Martin snapped a video from the table he was at, which he shared on Twitter Thursday, of what just might be the craziest hand played thus far at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
The hand involved four premium pocket pairs and took place on Day 1 of Event #37: $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em. PokerNews' live reporting team was also at the table to record the wild action.

There was a raise in early position by Chris Klodnicki with K♥10♣. Action folded to Jeremy Ausmus on the button with A♥A♠ and he put in the three-bet. Although Klodnicki got out of the way quickly, his fold let Ausmus scoop the pot to become the new chip leader. He made a joking comment afterwards that "I said to myself whatever the first hand he opens, I'm gonna take the chip lead right away."
This was certainly made easier with aces.

Action folded to Chris Klodnicki in middle position who opened to 400,000. Tracy Nguyen was next to act and shipped in her stack for her tournament life. The remainder of the players folded and Klodnicki snapped it off. He got the bad news when the cards hit their back.
Tracy Nguyen: A♦A♥
Chris Klodnicki: K♥K♠
The 3♦4♦J♦ had Klodnicki drawing thin as Nguyen held the ace of diamonds. The turn sealed the deal with the 5♦ and river was the J♠. Nguyen gets the pure double and vaults into second in chips behind Ausmus.

Chris Klodnicki limped in from the small blind holding 10♦9♣. Tracy Nguyen in the big blind checked her option with 7♣6♠ and they went heads up to a flop.
Nguyen flopped big as the first three cards came 2♣7♦7♥. Even so, the hand checked through to the turn.
On the 6♦, Klodnicki chose to take the lead for 250,000 and Nguyen called.
The 3♦ on the river saw another bet from Klodnicki who committed an additional 700,00 chips to the pot. Nguyen now chose to raise to 2,200,000 and Klodnicki snap-folded.
Nguyen solidified her position as chip leader of this final table.
