Vieira in the Mix Chasing Third Bracelet
The third and final day in Event #52: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw at the 2023 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas sees 19 players return from an original field of 353, all chasing the $181,978 top prize and WSOP gold bracelet.
Nick Pupillo (1,505,000) leads the way heading into Day 3 and is in a good position to try and capture his first bracelet. Victory is no guarantee, however, as accomplished Japanese player Tomomitsu Ono (1,235,000) sits second in chips, not far behind Pupillo. As if that were not enough competition, two time bracelet winner and Portugal's all time money leader Joao Vieira (1,040,000) rounds out the top three and will certainly be looking to add to his already impressive tournament resumé.
