Action continues at the 2026 World Series of Poker with Day 3 of Event #32: $3,000 No-Limit Hold 'em kicking off at 12 p.m. local time inside the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Only 57 players are returning from a field that started with 1,300 entries, all of whom have their eyes set on the first-place prize of $538,158, as well as the coveted gold bracelet. The event generated a prize pool of $1,313,640, with all remaining competitors already having locked up a cash of at least $9,929.

Christos Argyriadis of Greece enters Day 3 atop the leaderboard with 2,835,000, and right on his heels is Daniel Wokoun of the United States, sitting in second with a respectable 2,650,000. Antonio Vargas, who recently took down Event #16: $1,700 U.S. Circuit Championship, rounds out the top three with 2,065,000.

Samuel Laskowitz (1,920,000) and Christian Roberts (1,600,000) stand out as the only two 25K Fantasy players to bag a top ten stack heading into Day 3. Laskowitz is often seen battling in high rollers and has a WSOP Circuit Ring to his name, but has yet to capture a bracelet. Roberts won his maiden bracelet three years ago in the $500 No-Limit Hold'em Summer Saver and will look to leverage his stack and experience in pursuit of a second title.
