Kornuth Leads the Pack in Pursuit of Third WSOP Bracelet

Only six players out of a field of 66 entries remain in Event #29: $10,000 Short Deck No-Limit Hold'em and the latest high-stakes contest of the 2021 World Series of Poker will determine a winner today. The biggest slice of the $615,450 prize pool is up for grabs and two of the finalists already know what it feels like to lift the coveted WSOP gold bracelet for the winner shots.

Two-time champion Chance Kornuth leads the six-handed line-up with a stack of 1,266,000 while Portuguese mixed game aficionado Joao Vieira is the second-shortest stack with 300,000. Kornuth already reached the final table of this very event back in 2019 and finished in fourth place for $93,593. He will certainly aim to convert his prime position into the third gold bracelet in the hours to follow.

Second-placed Chad Campbell is the only other finalist with a seven-figure stack and returns to 1,073,000 in chips, good enough for 215 antes. The remaining contenders all seek their maiden victory in an official WSOP gold bracelet event and High Roller regular Dan Shak is perhaps the most well-known of them. Also in the mix are Moshe Gabay and Thomas Kysar, who both nursed shorter stacks for an extended period on Day 2 before reaching the official final table.
