Event #62: $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em is known to be one of the most anticipated tournaments of the World Series of Poker by six-handed specialists. Out of a field of 1,168 entrants which generated a total prize pool of $5,372,800, only the five best players are still in contention for the WSOP gold bracelet and the first-place prize of $855,515.

Day 3 started with 54 remaining players all hoping to reach one of the seats around the final table at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. Among them was Matthew Zambanini, who hit a lucky river to eliminate Robert Ashelm (14th - $49,539) and take the chip lead. He never left it since then, sending Mustapha Kanit (11th - $63,642), Nicholas Grippo (12th - $49,539) and Thomas Muehloecker (7th- $110,234) to the rail to reach 20,775,000 for 83 big blinds.

Final Five Seating and Chip Counts

Seat	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big blinds
1	Brandon Sheils	United Kingdom	13,900,000	56
2	Matthew Zambanini	United States	20,775,000	83

4	Adrien Delmas	France	8,475,000	34
5	Andjelko Andrejevic	United States	4,775,000	19

Second in chips is Brandon Sheils with 13,900,000, closely followed by Niall Farrell, the only bracelet winner still in play, who bagged 10,475,000 after doubling up with aces during the first hands of the final table.

Adrien Delmas was one of five French players who returned on Day 3, but Ludovic Uzan (23rd - $39,201), Erwann Pecheux (16th - $49,539), Arnaud Enselme (15th - $49,539) and Benoit Fiasson (10th - $63,642) were eliminated one after the other after the redraws, so only Delmas remains representing France on the final table. Same as Farrell, he doubled up during the last levels of the night to end the day with 8,475,000, a bit more than 30 big blinds.

Andjelko Andrejevic is the fifth player of this final table. After doubling up before the two-table redraw, he made Thomas Boivin the final table bubble-boy to ultimately finish the day with 4,775,000 chips.

Play is set to resume at 1 p.m. local time and will finish when a new WSOP champion is crowned. Play will restart at Level 31 with blinds at 100,000/250,000 with a 250,000 ante. Levels will still be 60-minutes long and all of the remaining players have already secured a minimum cash prize of $148,548.
