Day 3 of Event #69: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Lowball Championship of the 2023 World Series of Poker has officially come to a close at Horseshoes and Paris Las Vegas. The event was only scheduled to go for three days but when the clock expired in Level 23, three players still remained and were forced to bag and head into an unscheduled Day 4.
The day started with 18 players returning with intentions of playing to a winner, but the deep structure and a missed scheduled level the night before led to bustouts coming slowly throughout the day.
Some of the players who fell as the day carried on included Ryutaro Suzuki (15th - $20,000), Jason Mercier (14th - $23,750), Eli Elezra (13th - $23,750), John Monnette (11th - $28,945), and Ryan Riess (8th - $36,181).
Of the three players who bagged for Day 4, David "ODB" Baker will return with the chip lead having stuffed 4,580,000 into the bag with Chris Brewer bagging 2,765,000 and Alex Livingston coming back to the shortest stack of 1,900,000.
Final Three Chip Counts
| Place | Player | Country | Chips |
| 1 | David "ODB" Baker | United States | 4,580,000 |
| 2 | Chris Brewer | United States | 2,765,000 |
| 3 | Alex Livingston | Canada | 1,900,000 |
Baker's current chip count is especially impressive as he came back for Day 3 with the second shortest stack of the 18 players that remained and had blinded down to 30,000 chips very early in the day but ended up putting a run of dominant play together that put him in a good position to win his second bracelet of the summer and fourth overall.
While he will return with the most to work with, closing this out will be no easy task for Baker as Livingston is chasing his second bracelet and Brewer will also be looking to add his second overall bracelet and second of the summer. So it's safe to say that all three players will be looking to battle until the bitter end and won't give anything away.
The final three players will return July 2 at 1 p.m. to play down to a winner. This structure and game variant will allow for an all-out battle between the final three, so make sure to stayed tuned to PokerNews for up-to-date coverage of this and all remaining events at the 2023 World Series of Poker!
