As opening flights for the 2026 World Series of Poker Main Event continue, a select group of 14 players will return to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas ready to battle for their own bracelet today.
Event #79: $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em has reached the final day, with action getting underway at 12 p.m. local time and a top prize of $683,830 set to be awarded. The event attracted a total of 1,792 entrants, generating a massive prize pool of $4,784,640.
Sitting in the top spot is Andrew Moreno (11,955,000), who bagged up the only eight-figure stack to possess 100 big blinds. Moreno will have to contend with several notable names among the Day 2 survivors, but carries a healthy lead over four-time WSOP bracelet winner and Day 1 chip leader Asi Moshe (9,950,000) in second place.
Methavee Taveekitvatee (9,375,000) returns in a close third position, with the top three all maintaining a large gap over the rest of the field.
