Event #16: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold'em
Giorno 3 completo
Day 3 of Event #16: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em at the 2024 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas came to an end after about 11 hours of play as the field of 41 was trimmed down to just seven as the night came to an end.
Eddie Ochana ended the night as the big stack by some distance with 14,135,000. He started to accumulate a lot of his chips in the latter part of the day by winning a large share of hands to steadily increase his stack.
The second and third largest stacks to end the night were bunched close together as Alexander Queen and Brent Hart bagged up 8,865,000 and 8,345,000 respectively. Queen has a late night rise, while Hart was the large stack at one point before losing some before the close of the night.
Seat | Player | Country | Chips | Big Blinds |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Kartik Ved | India | 2,610,000 | 13 |
2 | Eddie Ochana | United States | 14,135,000 | 71 |
3 | Shant Marashlian | United States | 2,665,000 | 13 |
4 | Alexander Queen | United States | 8,865,000 | 44 |
5 | Brent Hart | United States | 8,345,000 | 42 |
6 | Daniyal Gheba | United States | 2,900,000 | 15 |
7 | Taylor Black | United States | 1,635,000 | 8 |
After the top three, there was a massive drop off in chips as the bottom four stacks range from eight to 15 big blinds to make for a four-way battle at the bottom for the scraps. Of the four bottom stacks, Shant Marashlian and Taylor Black both had the chip lead at one point during the final two tables only to see those large stacks disappear into small ones.
But they still remain in the tournament with a chance at the $660,284 grand prize, which is not something that can be said about the many players who hit the rail on Day 3 as it began with 41 players left and steadily trickled down as play was slow for many parts of the day with deep stacks and big pay jumps.
A few of the notables who hit the rail early in the day included Kenny Hallaert (39th), Ian Matakis (37th) and Brian Rast (24th) as the big names started to be trimmed from the field.
Arguably the biggest name remaining was taken out in by far the most dramatic way. Ten-time bracelet winner, Erik Seidel was on the feature table when he was met with a diabolical elimination when his higher flush was undone by a one-outer straight flush on the river.
From that point, play would continue to go at a deliberate pace as there were 13 players at the dinner break after Andrew Ostapchenko went out in 14th.
The final table was reached late in the night and began with a bang as Adam Saven had his aces cracked by runner-runner flush against ace-queen.
The night was concluded when Krasimir Yankov went out in eighth place.
PokerNews will resume coverage at 4:00 p.m. on June 7, with the players featuring on the PokerGO live stream.
Krasimir Yankov opened from the button with Q♦8♦ to 800,000, and the small blind folded. Chip leader Eddie Ochana looked down at A♦7♥ and decided to raise all-in, covering Yankov's stack for 1,540,000 effective. Yankov called all-in and was at risk for his tournament life.
The board ran out 4♦5♠10♠A♠Q♥ to give Ochana a pair of aces, defeating Yankov's queens and eliminating him in eighth place.
