Nikitin is still chasing his first WSOP bracelet despite nearly a million in earnings at WSOP events, according to the WSOP Live app. Nikitin has already secured a final table appearance at the 2026 WSOP when he placed seventh in Event #2: $5,000 Eight-Handed No-Limit Hold’em event and will look to improve on that finish as he moves forward in this tournament.
Weissman is chasing the second bracelet of his career. Weissman has nearly four million in earnings at WSOP-sponsored events and will have an opportunity to add to that tally in a big day with a strong Day 3.
WSOP bracelet winner Lichtenberger is no stranger to WSOP success. His most recent score came at the 2025 WSOP when he finished second in Event #32: $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller Eight-Handed.
Hrabec also holds one bracelet on his resume and will be looking to keep the dream alive of adding number two. Hrabec’s most recent live finish came at the 2023 WSOP when he took fifth in Event #16: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em Eight Handed. Hrabec won his bracelet during the 2024 WSOP Online series in Event #5: No-Limit Hold’em Triple Treys.
WSOP bracelet winners Barak Wisbrod also made the top ten in chips going into Day 3 with 1,560,000. Two-time bracelet holder Michael Moncek will come in tenth in chips with 1,500,000.
Remaining Payouts
Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Stephen Chidwick is still in the hunt. Chidwick had the honor of helping to burst the bubble when he eliminated Barry Woods to send the field into the money. He will return on Day 3 with a stack of 1,300,000.
Other notables to advance to Day 3 include Terrance Reid (1,200,000), Thomas Eychenne (870,000), Aliaksei Boika (1,200,000), Christian Roberts (795,000), Chris Brewer (710,000), and Jesse Lonis (260,000).
