The energy was high entering Day 3 of Event #52: $1,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em at the 2025 World Series of Poker hosted by Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. A total of 29 hopefuls were whittled down to only three before bagging up and adding an unscheduled Day 4 to the docket. The three competitors are guaranteed at least $200,173, while vying for the $410,426 first prize.
Asher Conniff bagged the lead (21,200,000) but is closely followed by both Samuel Rosborough (19,375,000) and Michael Rossitto (17,400,00).
Final Three Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Asher Conniff | United States | 21,200,000 | 34 |
| 2 | Samuel Rosborough | United States | 19,400,000 | 32 |
| 3 | Michael Rossitto | Italy | 17,400,000 | 29 |
Day 3 Action
Action started off to a brisk pace as Ben Gazzola (29th - $12,762) and Daniyal Gheba (28th - $12,762) were quickly eliminated to instigate the three table redraw. Chips continued to get consolidated as the field narrowed down to two tables.
Eliminations came to a standstill with 12 players left, as there was a more than $6,000 pay jump, the field froze for nearly two full levels before losing Matan Mesika (12th - $23,788). Kurt Fitzgerald (11th - $29,923) proved to be the final table bubble boy when his pair of jacks didn't hold against the one overcard of Charlie Cuff.
Start of day chip leader, Julio Belluscio, wasn't able to keep his momentum and ultimately lost with a pair of nines off a very short stack, eliminating him in ninth place.
The only two-time bracelet winner left in the field, Bryan Piccioli, was able to find some crucial momentum when he made a straight against Rossitto and found a full double. It wasn't meant to be, as he eventually fell in sixth place when his pair of sevens was thwarted by the kings of Rosborough.
Rosborough had maintained a lead stack for most of the day, but as the night came to a close, with only three players remaining, it seemed no one was willing to give up ground and the stacks evened out even more when Conniff played a big pot against Rossitto that saw the prior pull off a massive check-raise on the river.
