Thrilling Conclusion of Event #82: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed Kicks Off at 1 PM

Event #82: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed returns today to the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe & Paris Las Vegas as the final five will battle for the coveted gold bracelet and top prize of $480,112 on Day 4.

The leading chip stack is Matthew Parry. He hopes to use his 13,105,000 chips to find his first bracelet win. Also returning for the final day are Dustin Goldklang (11,490,000), Cuba Levenberry (4,915,000) and Lawrence Wayne (2,200,000).

One player who will have trouble avoiding this spotlight is Ian Matakis (8,835,000). He currently leads the Player of the Year race by 437 points, has locked in his 19th cash of the series, is making his fourth final table appearance, and will make a push to win his second bracelet of the 2023 WSOP. Doing so would almost ensure him as a lock for Player of the Year. This isn’t without hard work, as Matakis has played 18 online and live bracelet events this year alone.
