Obst, Alaei and Ivey Top Three Heading Into Day 3 of Event #43: $50,000 Poker Players Championship
After six more grueling 100-minute levels of mixed gameplay, the final 32 players of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #43: $50,000 Poker Players Championship, lead by James Obst, return to the event center gold section at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas at 1 p.m. to chase the money bubble and better position themselves into taking down the $1,324,747 first place prize, the coveted gold bracelet, the legendary Chip Reese Memorial Trophy, and poker immortality.
Obst bagged the chip lead heading into Day 3, ending the day with 2,972,000, but not far behind is veteran mix game pro Daniel Alaei, who bagged 2,064,000 and ten-time bracelet winner and poker legend Phil Ivey, who finished with 1,655,000, to round out the top three.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count |
| 1 | James Obst | Australia | 2,972,000 |
| 2 | Daniel Alaei | United States | 2,064,000 |
| 3 | Phil Ivey | United States | 1,655,000 |
| 4 | Talal Shakerchi | United Kingdom | 1,598,000 |
| 5 | Johannes Becker | Germany | 1,387,000 |
| 6 | Josh Arieh | United States | 1,365,000 |
| 7 | Brian Rast | United States | 1,306,000 |
| 8 | Lyle Berman | United States | 1,268,000 |
| 9 | Dzmitry Urbanovich | Poland | 1,196,000 |
| 10 | Nacho Barbero | Argentina | 1,158,000 |
However, they will have their work cut out for them, as the rest of the top ten reads like a who's who of mix game players. Including the likes of recent bracelet winner Josh Arieh, fresh off a $10k Limit Hold’Em win last week, former two-time winner of this event Brian Rast, and last year’s fifth-place finisher, Germany’s Johannes Becker.
Rounding out the bottom ten, but never to be counted out, are the likes of five-time bracelet winner and mix game specialist Scott Seiver, recent $10k 2-7 Tripple Draw winner Benny Glaser, and this year’s $10k No-Limit Hold’Em Secret Bounty winner Chris Klodnicki.
A total of 99 players entered this event, creating a prize pool of $4,727,250, with 15 getting paid at least $85,255. The remaining 32 players will play six more 100-minute levels today, with a 15-minute break after each level and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 15 (approx. 6:30 p.m.).

Shakerchi Finds a Call
Niveau 13
2-7 Triple Draw
Talal Shakerchi limped from under the gun and action folded around to Matthew Ashton in the big blind, who checked his option.
The first draw saw Ashton take three cards to Shakerchi's two, after which Ashton check-called a bet from his opponent.
On the second draw, Ashton drew two while Shakerchi opted for one. As on the previous draw, Ashton checked, prompting Shakerchi to bet. After some consideration, Ashton called.
Both players took one last card on the final draw. Ashton then led out, much to the discomfort of Shakerchi who, with a pained expression, committed calling chips and turned over Q♣7♦6x4x2x, which was good enough to take down the pot.
