Eveslage, Schreiber & Couden All Searching for Second Bracelet in Event #26: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship
The third and final day of Event #26: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas will commence today at 2 p.m. PST on the Bally's side feature table with only nine players remaining.
Leading the way is Chad Eveslage, who is looking for his second-career bracelet after winning his first just eight days ago in Event #8: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed. Eveslage, the only player to bag more than a million with a stack of 1,080,000, leads fellow big stacks Matthew Schreiber (970,000) and Joey Couden (830,000), both of whom are also after their second bracelets.

Others who will join them on the side feature table include Matthew Gonzales (435,000), Kyle Dilschneider (705,000) and Jonathan Cohen (605,000), whose furry four-legged companion railed him throughout the 12 hours of play on Day 2. Play concluded for the night when Nick Pupillo was eliminated on the final table bubble.
As Day 2 wrapped up early, Day 3 will resume play in Level 17 with blinds of 10,000/15,000 and betting limits of 15,000/30,000. The final table will play down to a winner, who will take home a coveted bracelet and the $245,678 up top. Like the second day of play, levels will last 90 minutes with ten-minute breaks after each level and a dinner break at a yet-to-be-determined time.
