Sincere Starts the Day at a Disadvantage; Day 4 Determines First Time Bracelet Winner
Only two players remain in Event #27: $1,500 Big O and both will be vying for their first World Series of Poker bracelet. Igor Zektser (27,725,00) enters the day with nearly a three-to-one chip lead over Paul Sincere (9,750,000). Day 3 came to an end shortly after mixed-game specialist, Ryan Hoenig was dispatched in third.
With a first-place prize worth $297,285, and only two hopefuls remaining, the tournament essentially becomes a $100,000 heads-up match with the glory and hardware at stake.
