After two full days of poker action of the some of the game's top players, the 158 entry field has been whittled down to its final 11 players.
Spain's Juan Pardo comes into the day in pole position but the likes of Alex Keating and Adam Miller are hot on his heels.
Also returning to the felt are WSOP bracelet winners Davidi Kitai and Renan Bruschi. However, Bruschi sits at the bottom of the chip counts and will need to pull off an epic comeback to add more accolades to his already impressive resume.
Today will see the lion's share of the ￡1,532,600 prize pool awarded, with each of the finalists locking up at least ￡35,750. The top four players walking away with six-figure paydays but of course, all eyes will be on the ￡358,550 up top.

Pardo secured the Day 3 chip lead on the last hand of Day 2, after he despatched Bruno Volkmann. Keating was boosted up the leaderboard after eliminating 2022 WSOP Main Event winner Espen Jorstad in the final level of Day 2 as well.
Miller floated around the middle of the park for most of yesterday, but went on a hot streak in the final two levels of play to bag a seven-figure stack.
