Pupillo, Le, and Smith Play to a Winner in $2,500 Mixed Omaha/Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Three days were not enough to find a winner in Event #87: $2,500 Mixed Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better, meaning that the final three players have returned for a Day 4 at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The final three players have all locked up $94,681, but all eyes are on the top prize - $221,733 and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
Nghia "3 Putts" Le enters the day with the chip lead. The Minnesota-based jokester finished third in the $10,000 Razz Championship earlier this summer and looks to improve upon that finish and take home his first bracelet.
Nick Pupillo enters the day in second place on the leaderboard. Pupillo won his first bracelet last month by capturing the $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball title, and looks to add additional hardware to his collection today.
Bradley Smith enters the day with the short stack, but the Canadian-based has already seen success this summer. Smith found a min-cash in the Main Event, and looks to add the WSOP gold bracelet to his results.
