2023 WSOP Day 7: Three Champions Crowned; Chosen One Eveslage Does it Again
Can you believe that we are already a week into the 2023 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas? It seems it is true that time flies when you're having fun!
The seventh day of the series saw a trio of fresh champions crowned at various points of the day.
Tyler Brown triumphed in Event #3: $1,000 Mystery Millions, outlasting a staggering 18,187 opponents. Brown banked the $1 million top prize plus a coveted gold WSOP bracelet.
The second bracelet awarded on Day 7 went to Chad Eveslage, who will forever be known as the champion of Event #10: $10,000 Dealer's Choice Championship. Victory came with a $311,428 first-place prize and a third bracelet for Eveslage.
Event #11: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack awarded its bracelet and $351,098 top prize to Kevin O'Donnell. Some 318 of the 6,085 starters returned for Day 2, and O'Donnell navigated his way past them all.
Felipe Ramos Second in Chips in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout Going Into Day 3
Only 16 players remain in the hunt for the title of Event #12: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout, and Brazil's Felipe Ramos (4,155,000) finds himself second in chips going into the final day's action.
Ramos almost finished top of the pile, but Jeremy Eyer's 4,420,000 contains a shade over three big blinds more than the Brazilian.
Two bracelet winners are among the final 16. Israel's Yuval Bronshtein (1,355,000) is a two-time WSOP champion, while Jinho Hong (1,280,000) has one bracelet.
There is a chance we will see the first female champion of the 2023 WSOP because Christina Gollins (2,965,000) is fifth in chips going into Day 3. Gollins finished third in the 2022 WSOP Ladies Event, and has another bite at the cherry on June 6.

Ang is the Man to Catch on Day 2 of the $600 PLO Deepstack; Deeb Bags Big
A staggering 3,200 players turned out for Event #13: $600 Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack, a record attendance for such a tournament. After the completion of 22 levels, only 117 players remained, and nobody had more chips than Aaron Ang.
Ang bagged up 2,765,000, and was one of four players to finish Day 1 with over two million chips. Giorgiy Skhuluhiya (2,600,000), Soheb Porbandarwala (2,175,000), and Marek Rous (2,090,000) were the other three.
A certain Shaun Deeb (1,265,000) finished with a top 20 stack, and is one to watch on Day 2. Deeb narrowly missed out on capturing his sixth WSOP bracelet on June 5, when he finished second in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack event online. He now has a realistic chance of adding more poker gold to his impressive collection.

David Williams Shines the Brightest on Day 1 of the Seven Card Stud Championship
David Williams has opened up a massive chip lead after Day 1 of Event #14: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship. Williams, who has a stud bracelet from 2006, bagged up a tournament-leading stack of 530,500 chips, over 200,000 more than Max Hoffman in second place.
Although he has started incredibly well in this event, a Williams victory is far from guaranteed because there are some phenomenal poker players among the 55 Day 1 survivors.
Dzmitry Urbanovich (247,000), Frank Kassela (186,000), and Eli Elezra (184,500) will return with top ten stacks.
The likes of Jeff Madsen (155,500), Andre Akkari (148,000), Robert Mizrachi (54,000), and Daniel Negreanu (13,500) are still in the mix, although Negreanu has plenty of work ahead of him if he is to capture this tournament's bracelet.

Play resumes at 1:00 p.m. local time on June 6, with the plan to play seven hour-long levels. Late registration remains open until the start of play, so expect a few stud specialists to turn up fashionably late.
