|
The money bubble looms as day 3 of the record-smashing 2023 World Series of Poker $10,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event has come to a close. There are now just 1,517 remaining from the largest-ever turnout in the storied history of this event: 10,043 players. That means that just ten more eliminations will see the remaining 1,507 contenders lock up at least $15,000 as they continue the quest for this year’s championship gold bracelet and the staggering top payout of $12,100,000.
The chip leader is Antonio Mallol Heredia with 1,899,000. The Spanish player will be in prime position to blow away his prior top score of $49,610 which he earned with a fourth-place finish in the 2018 Los Angeles Poker Open $1,100 main event.

The second-largest stack heading into day 4 will belong to none other than three-time bracelet winner and World Poker Tour champion Chance Kornuth. The 37-year-old poker pro bagged up 1,887,000 to put him less than two big blinds out of the lead.
Kornuth has been red-hot this summer. Since the start of June he has cashed 11 times, including five final table finishes and one title earned in a $2,200 mystery bounty event at the Wynn Summer Classic. His spree has seen him add more than $3.6 million to his career earnings, bringing his lifetime total to $16.1 million.
Kornuth also earned his first-ever seven-figure payday during this stretch, placing fifth in the $250,000 buy-in high roller bracelet event at the series for $1,202,318. He could another million-plus payday by making the top eight in this event. Full payouts for the tournament can be found at the bottom of this article.
