At noon local time, 42 players will return to action in Event #61: Ladies No-Limit Hold'em Championship at the Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas to play down to the final five contenders!
Cherish Andrews (1,800,000) will lead the pack after an impressive showing in the latter stages of Day 2. The American player has a wealth of experience with $875,392 in total live earnings, including three final tables in WSOP events with an eighth place finish in the ladies event last year.
Andrews' immediate competition comes in the form of Natalie Hof (1,100,000), who is the only other player over 1 million in chips and also counts numerous cashes in live events. Chenyi Liu (785,000), Marybeth Anderson (760,00), and Christina Gollins (745,000) complete the top 5 counts.

Experienced players such as Lexy Gavin (401,000), Melanie Weisner (560,000), and Jessica Teusl (615,000) will also return to action with average stacks, alongside the likes of PokerNews host Tiffany Michelle (250,000), member of the GGPoker Twitch Squad Pamela "Pamsi" Balzano (165,000), and Charlotte "Sjlot" Van Brabander (380,000).
Gavin will be looking for her fourth cash of the series after a deep run in Event #18: $1,000 Freezeout No-Limit Holdem where she ended in 41st place. The remaining 42 players are already guaranteed $3,886 but all have their eyes on the $166,975 top prize as well as the shiny bracelet.
Play will begin in Level 21 with blinds of 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 big blind ante. There will be 15-minute breaks at the end of every second level, with a 60-minute dinner break scheduled for the end of Level 26, around 6:30 pm.
