Zachary Schwartz made it 1,200,000 from the small blind and ended up getting in his stack of 4,025,000 after Daniel Zack potted it from the big blind.
Zachary Schwartz: Q♦J♣9♥8♥
Daniel Zack: A♥10♦8♦4♥
The equities were close, but not after the 9♠9♣K♥ flop gave Schwartz trip nines. A 7♦ on the turn gave Zack an open-ended, but only the low end of it was any good. The A♦ was a brick, though, and Schwartz doubled up.
Richard Gryko limped on the button, and Joshua Ladines came along in the small blind. Zachary Schwartz checked his big blind option, and the 2♦Q♣10♦ flop hit the felt.
All three players declined to bet, and the dealer flipped over the 7♥ turn. Another round of checks led to the K♠ river, where Ladines and Schwartz checked one last time.
Gryko took some time before sliding out a bet of 1,000,000, taking down the pot as both opponents folded.
The last day of the 2025 World Series of Poker will include an addition to the schedule, as Event #84: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha was unable to crown a champion on Tuesday night.
The unscheduled Day 4 will see four remaining contenders return to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, ready to battle for one of the last gold bracelets handed out this summer.
Day 3 concluded with Richard Gryko leading the way, bagging up a stack of 15,625,000 chips. Gryko is followed by 2022 WSOP Player of the Year Daniel Zack, who returns to action in search of a fourth WSOP bracelet.
The tournament attracted a total of 1,088 entries, amassing a prize pool of $2,904,960. Each of the remaining four players has earned at least $151,802, with only three spots to climb for the top payday of $471,170.
Gryko and Zack will be looking to fend off the two shorter stacks, as Joshua Ladines bagged up 19 big blinds late Tuesday night. Sitting behind Ladines is Zachary Schwartz, who has 17 big blinds in his bag as a nearly $65,000 pay jump looms.
