Players at Mike Matusow and Chris Klodnicki's table are trying to determine a ranking order for the best players left in the tournament. They are currently debating who the third-best player would be.
"It has to be Schuyler," Matusow said. "This guy wins every f*#$ing pot. That's how I rank 'em. Whoever wins the most pots."
"Let's ask Shaun," said Ben Yu, referring to Shaun Deeb who was standing on the rail. "Who do you think the third-best player left in the tournament is Shuan?"
"I can't even decided who the best is!" Deeb said. Deeb then glanced over the field. "I guess I have to go with Mikey."
Matusow shook his head.
"These guys play tournaments," Matusow said. "There's no way. "
"I'd pick you," someone on the rail said, pointing at Ben Yu.
"That's what I said too," Yu responded.

Welcome to Day 3 coverage of Event #17: $10,000 Dealers Choice 6-Handed Championship.
The starting field of 102 players is down to just 10 hopefuls, each looking to capture the first-place prize of $273,962 and a World Series of Poker gold bracelet.
As expected, the remaining field is stacked with some of poker's best. Considered by many to be among the top players in the game without a bracelet, John Racener is the chip leader entering Day 3. With 10 WSOP final table appearances over the years, Racener has come close time and again to capturing that elusive first bracelet. He's in pole position to accomplish that feat today, but it will be far from an easy task.
Second in chips is Chris Klodnicki, another player that many feel is among the best without a bracelet. Four-time bracelet winner Mike Matusow is also still in hunt, as are bracelet winners Viacheslav Zhukov and Ben Yu.
This marks the fourth cash of the 2017 WSOP for James Obst, and rounding out this tough field are Eric Crain, Shawn Buchanan, Dennis Eichhorn, and Schuyler Thornton.
Here is the Day 3 table and seat draw:
