Day 4 of Event #48: $1,000 Seniors Championship Starts at 12 PM
Event #48: $1,000 Seniors Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas is down to just four tables, with a legend among the final 29 runners.
Seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Billy Baxter has had an incredible performance so far. He will enter Day 4 with 6,400,000 and will hope to continue to make his stack grow. Baxter’s experience shined through on Day 3 as he moved up the leaderboards while still taking a moment to dazzle his tablemates with stories from poker past.
Baxter and the field will be chasing Gordon Eng who had a roller coaster Day 3 but will enter Day 4 as the chip leader with 15,975,000. Right on Eng’s heals will be Lonnie Hallett with 15,300,000 and not too far behind him is David Stearns with 10,575,000.
