Wesley Cameron opened to 450,000 in middle position, and Richard Jutte, one seat to his left, made the call. Action then folded to Lawrence Whyte in the big blind, who joined in with a call.
The dealer fanned a 3♣7♥10♣ flop, and Cameron continued with a bet of 375,000. Jutte made the call, hoping to see at least one more card, but when action returned to Whyte, he opted to check-raise to 1,300,000.
Both his opponents swiftly folded, and Whyte pulled in a nice pot without a showdown.
Zaher Sayegh was late to the final table, and once he arrived, his stay was brief as he only played one hand before being eliminated.
Edwin Huston raised from early position before Sayegh raised all in from middle position. The table folded back to Huston, who called to send them to a showdown.
Zaher Sayegh: 10♠10♦
Edwin Huston: A♣K♦
Sayegh maintained his lead on the 8♥Q♥9♥ flop, and the 10♣ turn was a welcome sight as it upgraded Sayegh to a set of tens, but it did provide Huston with straight outs. The J♣ smacked the river to finish Sayegh's run in the tournament. Sayegh earned $35,872 for his ninth-place finish.
Action will resume at 11 a.m. local time for Day 4 of Event #64: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold’em at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) hosted by Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
After three action-packed days, a field of 3,338 players has been whittled down to just nine, all of whom are ready to enter the poker arena and battle for the lion's share of the $2,937,440 prize pool and a coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
Headlining the final table is chip leader Lonny Weitzel. An accomplished player, Weitzel has lifetime earnings totaling more than $510,000 and will hope to add today's top prize to that number, alongside a maiden WSOP bracelet.
Another player with an impressive poker résumé, Lawrence Whyte enters the final table with lifetime earnings of over $550,000 under his belt and a wealth of experience on the felt. With a stack of 5,450,000, Whyte will be one to watch from the middle of the pack.
All nine of the remaining players have the chance to set a new record result for themselves today, and six of the them have already done so just by making the final table and locking up the ninth-place prize.

Also coming into Day 4 in the middle of the pack is Richard Jutte, or as other poker players know him, “The Silent Assassin”.
True to his alias, Jutte went about his business quietly on Day 3, slowly climbing his way through the chip counts.
Making the final table guarantees Jutte a new career-best result, but, as is true with all the remaining players, Jutte will be hoping to be the last player standing when all is said and done and collect the $356,494 first-place prize, alongside the highly desired WSOP bracelet.
