Third Round of $25,000 Heads-Up No Limit Hold’em Championship Begins at 12 p.m.
The first week of the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas is now underway with players from around the world ready to compete. There are 16 players returning to the tables today for the third round of Event #8: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’em Championship.
Doug Polk is back at the WSOP and is looking to make an impact in this event. The heads-up specialist dubbed the tournament the “Doug Invitational” on the way to defeating Shunta Someya and French pro Thomas Eychenne in the first two rounds. He will face Reiji Kono today with a possible matchup versus Chris Brewer in Round 4 as he aims to add a fourth WSOP gold bracelet to his collection.
Other notables advancing to Day 2 include Sean Winter and Chance Kornuth. Both players have had an excellent start to this series, having placed third and second respectively in Event #2: $25,000 High Roller 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em. Kornuth will face Landon Tice in Round 3 while Winter will contend with Kevin Rabichow who made it to the quarterfinals in this event last year. Winter, Rabichow and Tice will all be vying to claim their first WSOP gold bracelet in this event.
