WSOP 2023 Day 17 Digest

It was to be expected…we didn’t have a new champion yesterday. However, we have six tournaments running nonetheless!

Event #33: $10,000 Razz Championship

Players are still playing at the time of writing. Michael Moncek has just took the lead. He’s battling Carlos Chadha, second in chips, and Jerry Wong, third and last remaining player. $298,682 will go to the last player.

Several well known players were close but didn’t make it: Talal Shakerchi (5th), John Hennigan (6th) and Nick Schulman (11th).

Event #34: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha

Ten players remains in the event, lead by Robert Mizrachi, who will try to put his hands of a fifth bracelet and $298,192 in an event that registered 1,355 entries.

Familiar names were close to make the cut but fell near the end of the day, including Josh Arieh (13th), Daniel Negreanu (16th) and John Racener (18th).

Event #35: $10,000 Secret Bounty No-Limit Hold’em

The final eight players are set to return today for the final table and the big $733,317 prize. Chris Klodnicki (1 bracelet) will start as the chip leader, with a slight lead over Jeremy Ausmus (5 bracelets). Some other bracelet holder will return, including Angel Guillen (1 bracelet, 4th) and Barak Wisbrod (1 bracelet, 5th).

Phil Hellmuth made a deep run but fell in 11th place, Matt Berkey losing in 15th place.

Event #36: $3,000 Nine Game Mix

The event made 361 registrations and now only 22 players have the chance for the trophy. $221,124 are up for grabs, with British pro Philip Long with the largest stack. Justin Liberto (3rd), runner-up a few days ago will come back, accompagnied by Shawn Buchanan (6th) and Scott Clements (8th).

Many well known names made a deep run but won’t come back unfortunately: online legend Viktor Blom (26th), Eli Elezra (28th), Todd Brunson (30th), Dzmitry Urbanovich (34th) and Ari Engel (36th).
