2023 WSOP Day 25: Halatenko Leads Final Five Into Day 4 of $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship
Day 25 of the 2023 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas slowed down after a hectic day with five bracelets awarded on Day 24. No winners were crowned in Las Vegas on June 23rd.
No bracelets awarded but that didn��t mean there wasn��t enough action inside the tournament areas as they played down to a final table in Event #50: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship.
Halatenko Leads Final Five Into Day 4 of Event #50: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship
Day 3 of Event #50: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship has come to an end, with the final five players returning on Day 26 to play for a top prize of $1,309,232 and a gold WSOP bracelet.
Sitting atop the leaderboard is Stanislav Halatenko, who bagged 19,750,000 to take a massive lead into Day 4. The Ukranian went on a big run early in the day, including eliminating William Kopp in 16th with a rivered full house, and enters the final day with 45 percent of chips in play.
Travis Pearson sits in second place, having bagged 8,550,000. Pearson came on strong near the end of the night, firmly entrenching himself in second position with a rivered Broadway.
Peng Shan will enter Day 4 in third, bringing 6,800,000 in chips, while Arthur Morris (4,875,000) and Ap Garza (3,775,000) sit at the bottom of the leaderboard.

Nicholas Pupillo Leads Last Nineteen Heading into Final Day of Event #52: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw
After ten more 60-minute levels of play on Day 2 of Event #52: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw, just 19 players remain from a start-of-day field of 145 as they battle it out for the first-place prize of $181,978.
Leading the survivors is Nicholas Pupillo with a large stack of 1,505,000 after he was able to add a significant chunk to his count late in the day by making a wheel against Cary Katz's number two in 2-7 triple draw. His nearest competitor, Tomomitsu Ono, was able to amass 1,235,000 while Joao Vieira rounds out the top three on 1,040,000.
It took quite some time to reach the money bubble but when it finally happened it was Yuebin Gao who was unfortunate enough to hit the rail in 54th place, guaranteeing the remaining 53 players a payday of at least $4,069.
