David Wintersberger Among the Big Stacks on Main Event Day 3

The CHF1,500 Main Event at the 2026 WSOP Circuit Liechtenstein moves into the penultimate day inside the Grand Casino Liechtenstein, with just 24 players left from the 827 that started all still in contention for the CHF190,392 top prize and the coveted WSOP Circuit ring.

The tournament has already surpassed its CHF1,000,000 guarantee, generating a prize pool of CHF1,071,792, and the remaining field has locked up at least CHF5,800. With the final table now firmly in sight, today’s play will see the field reduced to the last eight players who will return for the final day.

Switzerland’s Angelo Arossi starts with the biggest stack of 4,525,000. Italy’s Eros Calderone sits second with 3,290,000 after surviving a crucial all-in late on Day 2, while Germany’s David Wintersberger rounds out the podium positions in third with 3,045,000 to play with.

Play resumes at 1 p.m. with 33 minutes remaining in Level 22, where blinds are 20,000/40,000 with a 40,000 big blind ante. The plan for the day is to play down to the final table of eight players.
