Event #62: $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em
Day 4 Started
Three days of competition brought a field of 1,168 entries to the final five of Event #62: $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. But out of these five players, only one of them will be crowned as a WSOP champion today and win the gold bracelet that goes along with the top prize of $855,515.
Matthew Zambanini is the closest to the bracelet so far as he ended Day 3 as the chip leader with 20,775,000 chips, twice as much as Triple Crown winner Niall Farrell (10,475,000). In between them is Brandon Sheils, who’ll be back at the final table with 13,900,000.

The turn was the 4♥ and Zambanini slowed down with a check. Farrell dropped in a bet of 600,000 and Zambanini quickly let his hand go.
"Yay, Firaldo!" Farrell tried to coach his rail or anyone else standing around but got no response. "That's what happens when you're a popular guy."

Niall Farrell raised to 600,000 from under the gun and Matthew Zambanini called from the big blind. The flop came 8♠8♦6♣ and the action checked through to the 6♦ on the turn and the 7♦ on the river.
Zambanini finally led out with a bet of 1,100,000 and Farrell deliberated for a minute before making the call. "I'm probably not folding this hand," he mentioned during his thought process.
Zambanini tabled Q♦10♥ for just queen-high while Farrell flipped over A♠A♥ to scoop the pot.
