2019 World Series of Poker
Event #59: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack Championship
Day: 3
The Final Day of Event #59: $600 Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em Championship Starts at 2 p.m.
Out of a four-figure field of 6,140 players, only 83 competitors will make their way back to the felt today to continue to battle it out until a winner is crowned in Event #59: $600 Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em Championship.
Returning as the chip leader will be Lang Lee with a massive stack of 6,075,000. Lee already has a WSOP circuit ring and will be looking to match it with a WSOP bracelet. Closely trailing him is bracelet winner Will Givens with 6,025,000. Givens will try to add another bracelet to his collection. Steffen Logen rounds off the top three with 5,485,000 in the bag and has a shot at claiming a title in his first WSOP cash ever.
Other notables that also bagged a decent stack include three-time ring winner Carl Brewington (5,130,000), as well as bracelet winner Dan Matsuzuki (4,630,000). Some of the other big names that are still in contention are Jason Wheeler (2,300,000), Jeff Hakim (1,700,000) and Kathy Liebert (755,000).
The remaining players have all secured at least $3,549 but all eyes are on the first-place price of $397,903, the title, and that famous gold bracelet.
Cards will be back in the air at 2 p.m. local time and action will resume at Level 28 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 with an 80,000 ante. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels and the plan is to play down to a winner.
