Nate Silver

The ninth day of the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) saw the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino packed to the rafters thanks to six events taking place. Two of those tournaments crowned their champions, with the other four reaching various stages of play.

Harvey Mathews will have a weekend to remember after he won the $371,914 top prize in Event #13: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold��em. Mathews also secured his first WSOP bracelet, of course.

Rafael Lebron was the other player who became a WSOP champion on Day 9. Lebron triumphed in Event #14: $1,500 Seven Card Stud. He captured the $82,262 top prize and his second bracelet, having taken down the $3,000 Limit Hold��em Six-Handed event in 2016.

Four other events marched towards their conclusions, including the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship. John Racener leads that event, but there is a certain Nate Silver at the final table, which is sure to garner plenty of interest outside of the poker community. Silver is an elite statistician and writer whose analysis and systems have been used to predict a whole range of outcomes from sporting events through to the U.S. Presidential race.

This is only Silver's fourth WSOP cash �� his previous three total $9,310 �� but he is guaranteed a career-best score regardless of his finishing position. His systems correctly predicted 48 out of 50 states correctly in the 2020 election. PokerNews wonders where Silver has predicted he will finish in this $10,000 buy-in event.

John Racener leads the way in Event #16: $10,000 Limit Hold��em Championship where only ten players remain from the starting field of 92.

Day 2 lasted 13 hours, slightly longer than anticipated so that the field could be whittled to only ten players. Brian Rast��s elimination in the early hours of October 9 brought the curtain down on an action-packed day.

Racener was the clear chip leader when the dust settled, the former November Niner was the only player to finish with a seven-figure stack in front of them (1,090,000). The ball may be in Racener��s court right now, but he will not have matters his own way at a stacked final table.

Five of the final ten, including Racener, have WSOP bracelets on their poker resume. Jason Somerville (670,000), Kevin Song (515,000), Ray Dehkharghani (315,000), and triple winner John Monnette (270,000) are all gunning for glory.

Throw into the mix Eric Kurtzman (975,000), Scott Tuttle (650,000), FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver (440,000), and Terrence Chan (350,000) and you have all the ingredients of a classic showdown. There's $245,680 up top and the event kicks off at 4 p.m. PST.

Only eight players remain in contention to become the champion of Event #15: $1,500 6-handed No-Limit Hold��em after the 96 returning Day 2 players were whittled down over the course of ten levels.

With no former WSOP champions remaining in the field, this event will see a brand new addition to the gold bracelet fraternity. France��s Jeremy Malod will fancy his chances courtesy of finishing the evening with a tournament-leading stack of 7,570,000 chips.

None of the returning players have less than 21 big blinds, so all will fancy their chances of poker glory. Second in chip Bradley Jansen has the more favorable table draw because he is seated with the shorter stacks of the tournament.
