Welcome back to the PokerNews Day 3 coverage of Event #13: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed at the 2025 World Series of Poker, held at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. A total of 11 players remain, competing for their share of a prize pool of $3,124,935. The remaining 11 players have locked up $33,957, so each remaining player now sets their sights on the $414,950 first-place prize and the prestigious WSOP bracelet.
The start of Day 3 chip leader Damarjai Davenport, also known as 'tricktime', made headlines with his runner-up finish in the 2024 WSOP $10,000 Mystery Bounty event, earning a career-best $678,707. Known for his intense focus and intimidating death stare at the table, Davenport's presence often unsettles opponents, giving him a psychological edge. Davenport sits atop the leaderboard with 11,000,000 chips, eyeing his first WSOP bracelet.
Shundan Xiao (9,330,000), a software engineer from California, had a deep run in the 2024 WSOP Main Event, where she turned a self-described “tuition fee” into a deep run, finishing 30th for $280,100. Eshaan Bhalla is currently third in chips with 7,200,000. With over $800,000 in live earnings and multiple WSOP cashes to his credit, his strong chip position puts him in serious contention for his first WSOP bracelet, and he's quickly earning a reputation as a player to watch.
