Welcome to Day 4 of Event #68: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em, at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas, where there are 16 hopefuls looking to win a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and first-place prize of $830,685.
The competition is still wide open, as Fabrizio Gonzalez is the lone player with an eight-figure chip count at 11,525,000, a little more than 12 percent of the chips in play. Gonzalez has a long list of cashes and has won a circuit ring. His best WSOP finish is eighth place in a pot-limit Omaha event in 2015.
Steven Jones, who made a remarkable run to second place in the 2023 main event, is lurking fourth on the leaderboard.

: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Ren Lin raised to 400,000 in the cutoff and Martynas Vitkauskas defended in the big blind.
The dealer put out a monotone flop of 6♦5♦10♦ and Vitkauskas check-called a bet of 200,000 from Lin.
The A♠ turn went check-check, bringing the 8♥ river and Vitkauskas checked for a third time.
Lin fired out a bet of 1,100,000 and Vitkauskas quickly tossed his cards into the muck.

Winning $1.2 million across three sessions on Hustler Casino Live during the Million Dollar Game isn't newsworthy. But doing so any other time of year is rare.
Henry Guttman, aka "King Henry," was the biggest winner on the show for three straight appearances over the past two weeks, and he more than doubled his lifetime HCL profits. The heater every poker player dreams about began on a June 11 stream where he won $276,250. It was just the start of a seven-figure run.
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Hamid Toghyan raised on the button to 400,000 and Martynas Vitkauskas responded with an all in from the small blind.
Action further escalated when the Kunal Patni called all in for less. Toghyan folded 9♣9♥ face and a heads up all in was run out.
Kunal Patni: Q♣Q♥ 
Martynas Vitkauskas: 6♣6♦
The board ran out A♣2♠3♣7♠4♣ and Patni was pushed a crucial pot.

There was not a lot of action early on the table, with only two flops seen in the first 10 hands. Jason Richard, who held the low stack coming in, pushed all in twice.
The second time he did so was a three-bet from the button, and was called by Yuliyan Kolev, the original raiser from the cutoff.
Jason Richard: A♥9♥
Yuliyan Kolev: A♠J♦
It didn't take long for the story of this hand to be told, as the flop 8♥3♥7♥ gave Richard an ace-high flush.
"I'm so sorry," he said, before the meaningless turn and river of 4♦5♦ were put on the felt.
