Kursevich Leads The Final 18
Welcome to Day 3 of Event 26, the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha. A field of 589 players is down to just 18, each with hopes of capturing the coveted World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Leading the way with 741,000 is Vadzim Kursevich. Plenty of notables are hot on his heels though as Oleksii Kovalchuk, Robert Williamson III, Brett Richey, and Dutch Boyd are all within striking distance. Eight-time bracelet winner Erik Seidel also remains, but he is short with 71,000.
