Michael Addamo Holds Dominating Lead on Day 3 of Event #87: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em
Welcome to the Day 3 finale of Event #87: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em on the final day of the 2021 World Series of Poker. Australia’s Michael Addamo holds a dominating chip lead in a final five that will compete today on PokerGO for a WSOP gold bracelet and the $1,958,569 grand prize. Cards go in the air at 4 p.m. PT on the main stage in the Amazon room for one last day of high-stakes action at Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.
$100,000 High Roller Final Table Chip Counts
| Place | Name | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Michael Addamo | Australia | 19,620,000 |
| 2 | Henrik Hecklen | Denmark | 5,445,000 |
| 3 | Sam Soverel | United States | 5,165,000 |
| 4 | Kevin Rabichow | United States | 4,250,000 |
| 5 | Sean Perry | United States | 3,920,000 |
Trailing in the distance behind Addamo are four accomplished poker players looking to spoil his run.
Henrik Hecklen and Sam Soverel are his nearest competitors, but the remaining four are relatively equal compared to the Aussie leader. Hecklen, a high-stakes pro from Denmark, already cashed the $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller with a 12th place finish and he’s looking for more before the series wraps up. Soverel won his first bracelet in Pot-Limit Omaha in 2016, and he will try to add a WSOP title and the biggest win of his career to what has been a great year on the high-stakes tournament scene.
Rounding out the five finalists are Kevin Rabichow and Sean Perry, both playing for their first bracelet. Perry has been stacking up victories on the high roller tournament scene this year and a win today would be the biggest score of his career. Rabichow has cashed four times at the 2021 WSOP and he will cross $1,000,000 in lifetime earnings with today’s earnings, regardless of place.
