When the dust settled at the end of the night, it was Nino Ullmann that bagged the chip lead with a comfortable stack of 2,565,00. The German player has $664,000 in total live earnings so far with eight WSOP cashes, including a 15th place finish in the 2019 $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold'em. He is closely followed by Rayan Chamas with 2,500,000. They both enjoy the company of a leaderboard full of notables, including Vanessa Kade who bagged 2,290,000 at the end of the day and will look to build on that figure tomorrow.

The bubble burst relatively quickly during Level 17. After having survived three other all-ins, Ralph Wong shoved 12 big blinds with pocket jacks and was called by Brian Green in the blinds with ace-queen. The latter found an ace on the turn to give him the best hand and eliminate Wong in the unfortunate bubble position.
