A New World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Will be Crowned

The Final Three
The Final Three

Out of a field of 6,650 total entries, only three contenders remain in the hunt for the title in the 2021 WSOP Main Event. The biggest slice of the $62,011,250 prize pool will be up for grabs today and the next world champion will earn the top prize of $8,000,000.

Germany's Koray Aldemir retained his role as the overwhelming chip leader heading into the nine-handed final table and leads the trio of hopefuls by a wide margin. He returns with a stack of 264,600,000 and that represents more than his two final opponents have at their disposal combined.

After a dramatic end to Day 8 the previous evening, the UK's Jack Oliver claimed the second-biggest stack of 77,300,000 while Atlanta, Georgia's George Holmes returns with 57,400,000 in chips. While he is the shortest stack, Holmes still has 36 big blinds worth when the action resumes at 2 p.m. local time at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.
