The third and final day of Event #7: $1,500 Limit Hold 'Em at the 2023 World Series of Poker is set to begin play at 1 p.m. here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
A prize pool of $703,535 was created by the 527 total players who entered, of whom 17 will return for Day 3. While everyone remaining has already locked up a payout of $4,843, only 16 other players stand between each of them, the bracelet and the first place prize of $146,835.
Jason Duong will start with the biggest stack of 1,615,000, but won't have an easy run at his attempt to come out on top as many notables still remain including two-time bracelet winner David "ODB" Baker (1,260,000), Matthew Dames (1,175,000), and John Armbrust (735,000).
