Myers Among Frontrunners in Day 3 of $1,000 Super Seniors
Over two days of play in Event #64: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold'em, a total field of 3,338 has been whittled down to just 134 hopefuls. Those still in the fray will return to battle at 11 a.m. local time here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. With many of the front runners close in chips, John Myers (1,532,000) will be looking to win his first title at the 2025 World Series of Poker.
Myers closely follows poker legend Marcel Luske (1,908,000) in the counts and is trailed by Thomas Ratkovich (1,487,000). Bracelet winner Gary Benson (1,336,000) isn't too far behind and will be looking to make waves on the way to Day 4.

Day 2 had no shortage of action with the exception of the bubble, which saw eliminations come to a halt for nearly an hour and a half. As a result, the floor made the decision to only play nine levels on the day, as opposed to the ten that had been on the structure. All those who return to Day 3 are guaranteed $3,031, but eyes will be on the $356,494 first prize.
