Welcome to Day 3 of Event #90: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker. Jamie O'Connor enters as the current chip leader after amassing 2,545,000 in chips last night. Hot on his tail is AJ Kelsall (2,325,000), who was the only other person to bag over two million in chips.
Kelsall has nearly $1.8 million in World Series of Poker tournament earnings alone, including one bracelet and two circuit rings. Kelsall finished runner-up in Event #5: $1,500 Dealer's Choice (6-Handed) earlier this series and will surely be hungry to get another shot at the gold.
While O'Connor and Kelsall are the front-runners to make a serious run at the bracelet and $1,057,663 first-place prize, they will have plenty of poker talent to contend with. Among the 30 still left in the field are Eric Baldwin (380,000), Taylor Paur (695,000), Justin Liberto (1,355,000), Stephen Chidwick (1,615,000), and Phil Hellmuth (860,000), who will be playing for his unprecedented 18th gold bracelet.

Eli Berg raised to 60,000 from the hijack and action folded to Felipe Ramos in the big blind, who thought for some time before deciding to three-bet to 195,000. Berg then announced he was all in, which got a quick fold from Ramos.

Bruno Volkmann opened to 70,000 on the button and was called by Tobias Schwecht in the big blind.
Schwecht checked following the 2♦J♣3♠ flop and then raised to 85,000 after Volkmann continued for 35,000. Volkmann made the call to send the action to the turn.
Both players checked through the J♦ turn to the 5♠ river at which point Schwecht checked again. Volkmann responded by moving all in and was met by a snap-fold from Schwecht, who was left as the tournament short stack.

Jaspal Brar was already all in and at risk from the cutoff against Farid Jattin in the big blind.
Jaspal Brar: A♦J♥
Farid Jattin: AxQx
The board ran out A♠6♥7♣K♦10♣ — leaving Jattin best with his queen kicker and eliminating Brar early on Day 3.
At other tables, both Mohammad Arani and Albert Nguyen were eliminated.

Jamie O'Connor opened to 50,000 on the button before Jun Obara moved the majority of his stack into the middle from the small blind, leaving himself just 40,000 behind. The big blind got out of the way to send the action back to O'Connor who raised all in. Obara quickly called off for his remaining chips.
Jun Obara: Q♥10♥
Jamie O'Connor: A♣J♠
Obara was behind but not so much so that a comeback would constitute an especially bad beat for O'Connor. No help came for the at risk player, however, on the 2♥5♣7♠2♦8♦ runout to send Obara to the rail early in the day.
