Yanovski Leads as Six Remain in Event #39: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed
Day 3 of Event #39 $3,000 Pot Limit Omaha 6-Handed at the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) has come to an end which saw the field reduced from 16 players down to the final table of six players. Israel's Leonid Yanovski is still the chip leader with 8,700,000 chips which will be good for 145 big blinds. Yanovski gained most of the chips when he eliminated Amirhossein Shayesteh in seventh for a huge pot to keep him on course to win the top prize of $371,358 and the gold bracelet.
Close on Yanovski's heels is Fabian Brandes, who finished second in Event #19 $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed for $907,132. Brandes will look to better his recent result and take down his first WSOP bracelet.
