Cards are in the air for the final table of the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em (6-Handed) WSOP Event. The table will be streamed on PokerGo with a one-hour delay. PokerNews will follow this delay to provide you updates.

Who will win Event #65 of the 2023 World Series of Poker? That's the question everyone following the $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em is asking.

There are just six of the original 1,199 entries left to answer this question and win the tournament. After three days, the favorite is two-time WSOP bracelet winner Norbert Szecsi, arriving as the chip leader of the final table with 18,600,000 chips, which is nearly 100 big blinds.

However, Angelina Rich, a player from Down Under, will be close behind him with 14,000,000 chips.

Final Table Chip Counts

Weiran Pu will be the outsider of this final table as he'll have the third-largest chip stack. Despite being down to just a few blinds on Day 3, he made an impressive comeback and finished with 10,475,000 chips.

However, to reach the first place, he will have to fight with Tyler Cornell. The American player, in his pursuit of a second WSOP bracelet, will restart with 7,475,000 chips.

The chip counts on Day 2 showed Vitor Dzivielevski (5,850,000) and Pedro Garagnani (4,725,000) in first and second place, respectively. They are now occupying the last two positions. However, both players still have room to maneuver with more than 20 blinds. Dzivielevski will attempt to imitate his brother, Yuri, who won his third WSOP bracelet this summer in the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. event.

The game will resume in Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas at 4 p.m. on Level 30 (small blind 100,000, big blind 200,000, ante 200,000) and will end when a winner takes the $938,244 prize and the bracelet.
