Final Table Set on Day 8 of Record-Breaking 2023 WSOP Main Event

Livello 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
2023 WSOP Main Event Final 9
2023 WSOP Main Event Final 9

The shortest day so far of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship wrapped up after less than six hours of play as a final table of nine has been set in the record-breaking event at the 2023 World Series of Poker. Leading the final nine at the end of Day 8 is Seattle's Adam Walton with 143,800,000 chips as he looks for his first bracelet and a place in poker history, while Arizona's Steven Jones looks to do the same with a stack of 90,300,000.

Though this isn't Walton's first Main Event run, it is his deepest. He finished 407th in the 2018 edition and bested that in 2021 with a 42nd-place first finish worth $163,900.

“I mean honestly, it feels like a dream," he told PokerNews at the end of Day 8. "It feels fake. I went from randomly playing the Main, I had like 12,000 chips in the beginning, and (now) this is happening. It’s been like the time of my life. It’s crazy.”

Day 7 chip leader Juan Maceiras, a former PokerStars pro and the son of an online poker aficionado, dipped a bit on Day 8 but is still in contention while he adds to his family's poker legacy.

“The ten-handed was a little bit complicated, but it happens," Maceiras told PokerNews. "I’ve been playing the same way I’ve been playing the whole tournament, but this time those pots didn’t go well. And there’s nothing to regret, I’m just thinking that I’m in the final nine, I’ve got more than 50 blinds.”

Also after the record $12,100,000 first-place prize is Jan-Peter Jachtmann, one of two bracelet leaders still in contention who ended the day by knocking out Jose Aguilera in 10th place for $700,000. The second bracelet winner among the final nine, Daniel Weinman, is still alive after getting a new lease on life when he hit a two-outer to nearly triple one of the most dramatic hands of the tournament so far.

The highest-profile and arguably most accomplished player in the record-breaking event, Toby Lewis, ended the day at the bottom of the counts with under 20 big blinds. Lewis, who made a much-discussed fold earlier in the tournament but who managed to stay alive for the final stretch, is the only player not to have locked up his biggest career cash by advancing to Day 9. Lewis will need a seventh-place finish or better to improve on his third-place finish in the 2021 $10,000 Wynn Millions for $1,235,204.

Meanwhile, fellow Brit Dean Hutchison will enter the final table seventh in chips to be in between Ukraine's Ruslan Prydryk and Italy's Daniel Holzner, a farmer who was gifted a Main Event seat for his 30th birthday from his girlfriend, friends and family.

"Yeah, it's nice to be out here on the final table," Holzner said as he bagged. "I guess I have to make a really big, big, big party for them, all of them."

A Short Road to the Final Table On Day 8

Day 8 of the Main Event blew by after a long stretch of 12-hour days that have seen players trading pots late into the night. It took just a few minutes after the late 2 p.m. start for Britain's Jack O'Neill to find himself at risk after three-bet jamming with queen jack in the small blind after a button open. Cong Pham woke up with ace-queen in the big blind to re-shove and O'Neill dominated before his 15th-place exit for $430,200.

But the pain was just beginning. Not long after Hutchison doubled through Jachtmann with aces against tens, there was another preflop confrontation of big pairs. Day 6 chip leader Joshua Payne picked up started things off with a raise after picking up pocket kings. Aguilera upped the price behind him with queens as Weinman woke up on the button with jacks. The bracelet winner opted to ship it with the fishhooks and both players called with Payne being the shortest stack.

A massive triple-up in likely what will be the biggest poker spot he ever finds himself in was imminent for Payne as the flop landed A74. But it wasn't meant to be as the turn brought the J to give Weinman the lead as he gasped in utter shock as his friend Josh Arieh cheered from the rail ahead of a blank river.

Payne, the youngest player in the Day 8 field at 23 years old, took the horrific beat in silence and received a hug from Weinman after his 14th-place exit worth $430,200, a career-best sum that will undoubtedly help the engineering student pay tuition.

Sachin Joshi had a bit more standard exit in 13th place as his eights couldn't survive a flip against the Big Slick of Maceiras, who hit an ace on the flop and avoided the two remaining eights for the Spaniard to further cement his chip lead.

Pham, meanwhile, was able to best his previous career-best score of $301,225 when he went out in 12th place for $535,000. The Florida native's chip stack had become a nub before he jammed with eight-seven of hearts and failed to pull ahead of Jachtmann's ace-deuce.

Once players returned from their first break of the day, Conscious Poker's Alec Torelli found himself at risk with jacks against the ace-king of Maceiras. Once again, Maceiras made a pair on the flop to take a big lead in the flip before a brick runout confirmed Torelli's 11th-place finish for $700,000.

It took a full level of play to lose another player after the unofficial final table was set. Holzner was on his way out after getting it in with ace-queen against the ace-ten of Maceiras, who flopped a ten before Holzner rivered a queen as the Mothership discharged into a frenzy.

In a similar confrontation, Aguilera found himself at risk of going out on the final table bubble but was in good shape with ace-jack against Jachtmann's ace-eight. Jachtmann manage to flop a gutshot and a seven on the turn confirmed the tenth-place elimination of the unfortunate Spaniard.

After a day off tomorrow, players will return for Day 10 at 2 p.m. local time on Sunday, July 16. Action will pick back up on Level 38 with blinds of 600,000/1,200,000/1,200,000 with 1:49:10 left in the level.

Jose Aguilera Eliminated in 10th Place ($700,000)

Livello 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Jose Aguilera

Jan-Peter Jachtmann opened to 2,500,000 in early position and Jose Aguilera three-bet to 6,700,000 in the hijack. The action folded back to Jachtmann who contemplated his options before just calling.

The flop fell 654 and Jachtmann stuck in a bunch of chips. Aguilera called off his last 2,500,000 chips and the cards were on their backs.

Jose Aguilera: AJ
Jan-Peter Jachtmann: A8

"Give me a heart," Jachtmann pleaded to the dealer but it was the 7 on the turn that gave him a straight. Aguilera was left drawing to a chop only but the 2 on the river was no help. Aguilera was eliminated in 10th place and the final nine players will now bag their chips and return on Sunday for the first part of the final table.

Adam Walton

Adam Walton raised to 2,000,000 from under the gun with the AK and Juan Maceiras called from the button with the A8 before both blinds got out of the way.

The flop was 757 and both players checked to see K on the turn. Walton checked again and called when Maceiras bet 3,000,000.

The river was 9 and Walton checked once more. Maceiras bet 5,000,000 and went into the tank when Walton raised to 17,000,000.

Maceiras considered his options for nearly two minutes before he slid out the chips to call. Walton turned over his kings up and won a large pot to take over the lead.

Juan Maceiras opened to 2,000,000 from under the gun and Daniel Holzner three-bet to 8,400,000 on his left, leaving just 100,000 behind. The action folded back to Maceiras who shoved all in and Holzner quickly called.

Daniel Holzner: AQ
Juan Maceiras: A10

The flop came 1055 to give Maceiras the lead as the rest of the table looked on with anticipation of a potential final table. The turn was the 6 which changed nothing but the Q on the river sent Holzner and his rail into a frenzy as he scored a double up.

Alec Torelli was the third short stack to move all-in for six and a half blinds, picking up a call from Juan Maceiras.

Alec Torelli: JJ
Juan Maceiras: AK

The classic flip had Torelli at risk as he paced back to his rail, but fell silent when the K86 flop improved Maceiras.

Nothing changed with the 6 turn and A river as Torelli's run ended in 11th place for $700,000.

Cong Pham open-jammed a stack of 2,400,000 in the cutoff and Jan-Peter Jachtmann called in the big blind.

Cong Pham: 87
Jan-Peter Jachtmann: A2

Pham needed to hit an eight or a seven and didn't get much help from the 942 flop. The 5 turn gave him additional outs with a gunshot but the 4 bricked off on the river to mark his elimination in 12th place for $535,000 as Jachtmann received a small boost after taking a big hit the previous hand.

The deep run gives the Florida native his biggest career cash, besting his third-place finish in the 2013 Borgata Poker Open that brought him $301,225.

Sachin Joshi: 88
Juan Maceiras: AK

Maceiras took the lead on the A97 flop and retained it throughout the 9 turn as well as the 5 river, sending Joshi to the payout desk in 13th place to collect $535,000 for his efforts.

Joshua Payne made it 1,600,000 to go and Jose Aguilera three-bet to 4,500,000 on the button. Daniel Weinman on the button went into the tank and carefully studied the stack size of Aguilera before he four-bet jammed for 29,100,000.

Payne called all-in for 19,600,000 total and Aguilera looked up both opponents to create a three-way all-in!

Joshua Payne: KK
Jose Aguilera: QQ
Daniel Weinman: JJ

The A74 flop changed nothing as Payne remained in the lead. Weinman then spiked the J on the turn to send Payne into a world of pain.

Nothing changed on the 3 river and Payne was sent to the payout desk in agonising fashion while Weinman sky-rocketed up the leaderboard, leaving Aguilera with a short stack.
