After ten 60-minute levels of play on Day 1 of Event: #90: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker hosted at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, 197 players were able to find a bag at the end of the night from a total of 495 entries. That field size has already smashed last year's total of 394 and with late registration open until the start of Day 2, the number will only increase.

Once the dust settled, Austria's Tobias Schwecht emerged with the largest stack having managed to accumulate 546,000 over the course of the day's play. He is closely followed by Frank Lagodich on 535,500 while WSOP bracelet winner and mid to high stakes tournament crusher Justin Liberto rounds out the top three with 500,500. They are the only three players to surpass the half-a-million mark.

The six-max format is considered by many to be the most demanding in the No-Limit Hold'em variant. Given that this is the flagship six-max tournament on the poker calendar, it was no surprise that some of poker's best and brightest hopped into the mix. Many of them were able to climb their way to the upper echelons of the leaderboard, including 17th place finisher in the still ongoing 2023 WSOP Main Event Andrey Pateychuk (462,000), two-time bracelet winner and 2016 WSOP Main Event 3rd place finisher Cliff Josephy (428,000) and longtime PokerStars Team Pro member Andre Akkari (303,00).

Other notable players were less fortunate and, given this is a freezeout tournament, they will have to wait until next year to take another shot. These unfortunates included five-time bracelet winner Brian Yoon, husband and wife duo Alex and Kristen Foxen as well as Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel.

Those who do still have chips will return July 15th at 1 p.m. local time at which point they will be joined by any who opt to max late reg before cards are in the air. Blinds will start in Level 11 at 1,000/2,500 with a 2,500 big blind ante. Play will then continue for a further ten levels before those who remain bag their chips up.

Be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews as its live reporting team continues to provide coverage of this event through to its conclusion.
