Dejuante Alexander Looks to Overtake Stephens in Pursuit of Second Bracelet

Dejuante Alexander
Dejuante Alexander

Dejuante Alexander may be coming into the day with the third biggest chip stack, but he is hyper-focused on turning that third-place stack into a first-place finish and adding a second bracelet to his wrist.

He joins 13 other players looking to topple the big stack of Ryan Stephens on the third and final day of action in Event #56: $500 Salute to Warriors No-Limit Hold'em here at the 2023 World Series of Poker. Should he be successful, a $217,921 first-place prize and a WSOP gold bracelet await.

The final 14 players will return to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with a shot at victory as there are no real super short stacks, giving everyone a real chance at WSOP glory. The shortest two stacks of Lucas Lew (11,675,000) and Steven Genovese (11,425,000) will still come in with 19 blinds and it became very clear late in Day 2 that none of these players are willing to give anything away.

The record-breaking event, which saw 4,303 entries pay their $500, creating a prize pool of $1,936,350, for a shot at WSOP glory and to help support the USO and other veterans organizations, smashed the entry numbers from last year as 3,209 entries took part in the 2022 edition with James Todd taking home the bracelet and $121,161.

Action will begin at 10 a.m. local time in Level 35 with blinds of 300,000/600,000 and a big blind ante of 600,000. Play will continue until a winner is crowned, so make sure to stay here at PokerNews for coverage of all the action in this and all events of the 2023 World Series of Poker!
