Event #91: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. Jour 3 | 2023 World Series of Poker

2023-07-18 02:53 UTC-7

One More Day Needed to Crown a Champion in the $3K H.O.R.S.E.

Niveau 30 : Limits 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

With record-breaking fields all summer at the 2023 World Series of Poker, an unscheduled extra day has been needed to crown a champion in more than a few tournaments, and Event #91: $3,000 H.OR.S.E. can be added to that list, as a fourth day is required to decide a winner after 13 grueling hours of play proved not enough to complete this tournament.

Chip Counts

Name	Chip Count	Country
Ryan Miller	9,300,000	United States
Leonard August	3,925,000	United States

Two mixed game grinders in Ryan Miller and Leonard August have outlasted a record-breaking field of 331 entrants, with Miller taking 9,300,000 and the chip lead into Day 4 in search of his second bracelet of the series, over the 3,925,000 of August. Tuesday’s winner will take home $208,460 and one of the final bracelets of the summer.

Day 3 Action

The day started with 18 hopefuls, but it wouldn’t take long to thin the field down to the final two tables, as Philip Sternheimer would be the first to exit, followed by Jack Traylor to get to the two-table redraw.

Brazilian pro Andre Akkari made another deep run this year, finishing in 16th place, as he was unable to top his 11th place finish of last year.

One of the big stories of the event saw two Poker Hall of Famers make the final table, in Barbara Enright and Todd Brunson. Both players would fall to Calvin Anderson, with Brunson bowing out in eighth place after failing to outdraw Anderson in Razz, and Enright exiting in fourth place after both players flopped top pair, but losing to Anderson’s kicker. It was truly magnificent to see someone still playing at such a high level after all these years.

Another player who made a repeat deep run in this event and was unable to top their finish from last year was Kevin Gerhart, who exited in seventh place after flopping a Broadway straight in limit hold'em and losing to the turned full house of Anderson.

Miller and August will return to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas on Tuesday, July 18th at 2:00 p.m. local time to play to a winner, with the day beginning on Level 32. Levels will last 60 minutes each and there will be a scheduled break after every two levels.
