Jeremy Ausmus Hunts for Number Seven in the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Handed
The final day of Event #96: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Handed begins on Tuesday at 1 p.m local time, taking place at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. Just 21 players remain from the 1,088 that entered during Day 1. Players will return for a third time to fight for a share of the whopping $2,904,960 prize pool that has been generated from those entries, with $471,170 the score for the eventual winner.
The current payout for those who leave is $20,616; however, all of the remaining hopefuls will be looking to lock up more. One of those hopefuls, chip leader Brad Albrinck, will be aiming to put his massive stack of 5,140,000 chips to use, and carry on his Day 2 momentum for one last push. Just behind him, Ryan Leng (4,135,000) grinded all day Monday to bring forward a healthy stack, with Day 1 chip leader Joshua Ladines (3,795,000) rounding out the podium with an impressive 95 big blinds.
In addition to the biggest stacks, some of PLO’s most recognizable names still have chips, and are certainly a force to be reckoned with. Chino Rheem, who bagged up a top-ten stack on Day 1, couldn’t repeat that feat on Day 2, but he will still take 860,000 chips through to Day 3. Richard Gryko, Zarvan Tumboli, and Fahredin Mustafov, however, all managed to end both days within the top ten.

Six-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus is also still well in contention on Day 3. He bagged up 1,500,000 chips, meaning he’ll start the final day of competition with 37 big blinds to play with. There will be no doubt in his mind that he can go on to pick up a third WSOP victory in this variant.
The remaining competitors will take their seats in Horseshoe Gold as play begins at Level 23, with blinds at 20,000/40,000, alongside a 40,000 big blind ante. Play will not end until a winner is confirmed, meaning one of the remaining 21 players will be leaving the ballroom with a brand new WSOP bracelet before the day is up.
