The 2024 World Series of Poker is in full swing, with cards in the air in no fewer than 12 (!) concurrent events today. One of these events is extra special for PokerNews: Event #62: $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship, our first-ever sponsored bracelet event, has reached its penultimate day. Action will resume at 11 a.m. local time in the Horseshoe Event Center and it promises to be an exciting day.
One of the biggest fields of the summer — 5,110 — has already been whittled down to its final 60 hopefuls after two long days of play. Each of them has locked up at least $5,253 for their efforts — a near 9x return on investment — but the biggest slices of the $2,606,100 prize pool are still up for grabs, including the top prize of $282,876 and the coveted gold bracelet.
What's even better: as the inaugural PokerNews-sponsored bracelet event, PokerNews went the extra mile and will offer the winner a unique, commemorative 24k-karat gold coin as a testament to their accomplishment.

It's still anyone's game at the start of Day 3, with bracelet winner Kenny Hunyh (5,920,000) leading the pack. Other recognizable faces in the hunt include Darryll Fish (5,130,000), bracelet winner Chris Dombrowski (1,620,000), and Ray Henson (1,080,000). Unfortunately, none of the PokerNews Daily Deepstacks leaderboard qualifiers, who won a freeroll into this event for their accomplishments in the Daily's, could make their way to Day 3.
Day 3 will start in Level 28 with blinds at 50.000/100,000 and feature 60-minute levels throughout, with a 15-minute break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after the conclusion of the sixth level of the day (~5:30 p.m.). The plan is for play to continue until five players remain and then hard stop for the night.

Christopher Herrin went all in from under the gun. When action folded to Arlen Sarte on the button he went all in. Kuan-Yu Lin then went all in from the small blind, which got the remaining player to fold and the three went to a flop.
Christopher Herrin: J♠J♥
Arlen Sarte: 10♥10♣
Kuan-Yu Lin: K♦K♣
The flop and turn came out 8♠2♥3♣A♠ and it seemed all but over for Sarte when the 10♠ came on the river and gave him the win.

John Cap: 8♠8♥
Cap was ahead and picked up extra straight outs, if he even needed them, on the 9♥7♣6♠ flop. The turn was the 3♠ and the river the 5♦ and Khaov was eliminated.
