Event #18: $300 Gladiators of Poker at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas will today be played to its conclusion as we crown a champion.
After the largest player pool of the 2023 WSOP came virtue of the inaugural Gladiator event, a field size of 23,088 amassed through all four starting flights. This number was whittled down to just 827 players for the start of play on Day 2. After an additional 17 levels of play, only 14 players remain in the running for the bracelet as the final stage of play commences on Day 3 and we play down to a winner.
Of those, Eric Trexler solidified his place as chip leader bagging 97,400,000 for the restart today. Right behind Trexler is Caio Sobral, who bagged 94,000,000 and is also securing the first-ever WSOP cash of his poker career. As well as Sobral, Salvatore Boi, Tim Williams and Willie Smith will all be claiming their first-lifetime World Series cash.
