Madsen Leads Final Day; Clements, Solomon, Sexton in Contention
Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and the 2013 World Series of Poker for Day 3 of the Event #35: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha!
640 players took to the felt to play this four-card game full of wraps, rundowns and counterfeits several days ago, and now just 19 individuals remain looking to capture the gold bracelet and $384,420 first prize.
Already guaranteed $11,915 in prize money, the likes of Christian Harder (230,000), Mike Sexton (242,000), Jarred Solomon (259,000), Jason DeWitt (344,000), Ashton Griffin (352,000) and Scott Clements (534,000) all outlasted Tom Schneider (60th), Jared Bleznick (31st), Andrey Pateychuk (30th), Steve Sung (29th), Phil Hellmuth (26th), Jonathan Duhamel (24th) and Will Failla (23rd) who all fell to the rail before the close of play.
However the remaining players are all chasing two-time bracelet winner and 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen who bagged an impressive 922,000 in the wee hours of the morning. Madsen - who has one cash this series - has now locked up his 29th WSOP cash and will be looking at improving on his previous best Pot-Limit Omaha result which was a 4th place at the 2010 WSOP Europe £5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event for £52,542.
The remaining 19 players will line-up as follows today:
