Dim the lights.

The biggest buy-in event of this year's World Series of Poker will play down to a winner today. Out of a field of 56 hopefuls, each of them putting up a mouth-watering $250,000 just to compete, only eight are left standing on the third and final day.

Those that remain have guaranteed themselves at least a slice of $488,095 out of the $13,944,000 prize pool, but the first-place prize of $4,563,700 and coveted WSOP gold bracelet will be what's on everyone's minds today.

It'll be a battle of the bracelet winners versus the non-bracelet winners, as three out of the eight are still seeking their first piece of the priceless hardware. Surprisingly, perhaps, Alex Foxen is one of them. Undoubtedly among the most accomplished tournament players on the planet, the bracelet has eluded Foxen thus far in his storied career with nearly $22M in lifetime winnings according to The Hendon Mob.

Foxen (24,150,000 in chips) finds himself in a prime position to break the drought today, rocking a sizable lead over his nearest competitor, the enigmatic loudmouth Martin Kabrhel (17,800,000). The talkative Czech will no doubt be drawing the attention of the PokerGO cameras with his entertaining, or annoying, antics, depending on who you ask. While Kabrhel already has two bracelets to his name, he is yet to find WSOP success outside the boundaries of Rozvadov.

$250,000 Super High Roller Final Table Chip Counts

Besides Foxen and Kabrhel, the six other final tablists are as accomplished as they come, with ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey (7,300,000), a surefire future Hall of Famer and four-time bracelet winner in Adrian Mateos (6,950,000), who is the defending champion in this event, and the person running away with the 2022 WSOP Player of the Year race, Daniel Zack (4,375,000), among the finalists.

Add Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen (12,375,000), Brandon Steven (7,850,000), and Sam Soverel (3,200,000) to the mix, and we're quite possibly looking at one of the most exciting final tables of the series.

Cards will officially be back in the air at 3 p.m. local time in Bally's Event Center, part of the new home of the WSOP. PokerNews will provide live coverage in conjunction with PokerGO's live stream, which will be on a 60-minute security delay.
