Day 3 of the CHF1,500 Main Event at the 2026 WSOP Circuit Liechtenstein has wrapped up inside the Grand Casino Liechtenstein, with the 827 starting field reduced to the final eight players who will return for the final day and a shot at the WSOP Circuit ring and the CHF190,392 top prize.
Switzerland’s Angelo Arossi yet again holds the overnight chip lead, having bagged 9,890,000, and giving himself a healthy lead over his nearest rival. France’s Benjamin Hammann sits second with 6,885,000, while Germany’s Florian Geiger completes the top three with 6,580,000.
Neculai Macovei (5,715,000) and Flynn Meichtry (5,415,000) return smack in the middle of the pack. Meanwhile, Kilian Kramer (3,205,000), Eros Calderone (2,200,000), and Claudio Di Giacomo (1,250,000) sit towards the bottom, with Di Giacomo the clear short stack on thirteen big blinds.

Day 3 Action
As soon as the cards hit the baize, the biggest pot of the tournament up to that point unfolded between Hammann and Mathias Muehlebach. Hammann raised Muehlebach’s river bet, only for Muehlebach to snap-jam for Hammann’s stack. After dipping into his time banks, Hammann made the call with the smallest of full houses and was shown a bluff as Muehlebach tabled just one pair.
Muehlebach was unable to recover and hit the rail a few hands later at the hands of Macovei. Marcel Maurer soon followed, also falling to Macovei. By the time the first break rolled around, less than two hours into the day, the field had already been reduced to the final two tables, with Arossi still leading the way.
A shuffling of seats and a short break did little to slow the pace. Rene Kistler and Florian Gehbauer both exited on the stream before Manuel Lussi saw his Main Event run come to an end in brutal fashion. Lussi four-bet jammed big slick but ran straight into Arossi’s cowboys, and a low runout secured the pot for the Swiss chip leader, sending Lussi out in 14th place.
David Wintersberger had a highly successful Day 2, but Day 3 proved much tougher. First, he was put in the blender and tank-folded the river when Meichtry shoved. A few hands later, Wintersberger jammed king-jack but ran into Meichtry’s pocket nines, sending him to the rail.
Meichtry went on a tear from there. In the same orbit, he spiked top pair on the turn to bust Marcel Maubach. Next in Meichtry’s firing line was Mihai Andrei-Munteanu. In a blind-on-blind battle, Meichtry raised Andrei-Munteanu’s turn bet with a combo draw and binked it on the river. Andrei-Munteanu tank-called the overbet shove with two pair and had to settle for 11th place.
With the tournament just one elimination away from the last table and play becoming short-handed, Lukas Schlumpf saw his short stack quickly chipped away by the blinds. Eventually, he made a stand with pocket treys but lost the race against the queen-eight suited of Arossi.
The remaining nine players then moved to the feature table and played full ring for the first time. Di Giacomo started as the short stack and immediately raise-folded for over half his stack. He recovered instantly by winning a flip against Arossi but still remained last in chips.
Unfortunately for Samuel Klocker, he wasn’t as fortunate in his flip. His pocket fives could not hold against the ace-queen of Hammann, and he exited in ninth place. That elimination set the official final table of the CHF1,500 Main Event, with Arossi holding a huge lead.
Play resumes at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10, with 40 minutes remaining in Level 26 at blinds of 50,000/100,000 with a 100,000 big blind ante. The final tablists players have secured CHF17,500 from the CHF1,071,792 prize pool, but the focus will be on the WSOP Circuit ring and the CHF190,392 awaiting the champion.
The action will also be available on a cards-up live stream, delayed through to the conclusion of the final table. The stream can be found on the GC Pokerroom Liechtenstein YouTube channel.

Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Samuel Klocker shoved from early position for 1,510,000 and Benjamin Hammann called from the cutoff. Once the rest of the table folded, the cards were tabled with Hammann trying to bust Klocker and bring Day 3 to an end.
Samuel Klocker: 5♦5♠ 
Benjamin Hammann: A♣Q♦
It was a flip that was a lot more significant for Klocker as he was the player at risk.
The dealer fanned out the 2♥K♠3♥ flop, keeping Klocker's pair of fives in the lead.
A 10♥ on the turn gave Hammann some extra outs in the form of a straight draw.
The Q♠ peeled off on the river, improving Hammann to a pair of queens to win the pot.
Klocker ventured the rail in ninth-place, and the remaining players bagged up their chips and will return on Tuesday, March 10, to play out the final table.

Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Angelo Arossi raised from early position before Claudio Di Giacomo shoved for 600,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Arossi, he put in the call.
Claudio Di Giacomo: 10♥10♦
Angelo Arossi: K♦Q♥
Di Giacomo had just raise folded over half his stack a few hands ago, and now was on the verge of busting if he lost this race.
Fortunately for Di Giacomo, his pocket tens held up on the 2♠4♠8♥A♣2♣ runout, and he doubled through Arossi.
