Jessica Vierling Remains Last Woman Standing in $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em
Welcome back to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas for Day 4 of Event #32: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em, where just seven players remain from a field of 1,300 entries creating a $3,471,000 prize pool. With $538,158 and a WSOP gold bracelet awaiting the eventual champion, the final seven will return on Friday, June 12, to play down to a winner.
The formidable legend Jean-Robert Bellande came into the final day with 16,290,000. Bellande, best known for playing high-stakes cash games on television, already has one WSOP bracelet to his name. Bellande won his bracelet nearly eight years ago in Event #32: $5,000 6-Max.

Christos Argyriadis, who is second in chips with 13,600,000, is a respected player who came into Day 2 as chip leader. Argyriadis, from Greece, is a tricky live player who plays all over Europe. His live earnings total $266,614, and he will come to the final table exceeding his career-best score of $34,421. Interestingly, Argyriadis has not cashed for more than $9,000 in a WSOP tournament.
Omar Zazay comes into Day 4 third in chips with 6,900,000. Zazay has amassed over $2,000,000 in career live earnings, and his best live score came back in 2015 when he won $1,000,000. Zazay came close to a bracelet back in 2012 and is no stranger to being under the bright lights in high-pressure situations.
Jessica Vierling is the last woman standing in the field. With $1,773,732 in live tournament earnings, a WSOP Circuit ring, and a career-best score of $328,273, all achieved within the last few years. The German-born player is seeking her first WSOP bracelet and the biggest score of her career.
