Cards are in the air and play is now underway for Day 3 of Event #9: $100,000 Ultra High Roller.
Welcome to Day 3 of Event #9: $100,000 Ultra High Roller at the 2023 World Series of Poker Paradise. The third and final day commences at 2 p.m. local time at Atlantis Resort in The Bahamas.
The biggest buy-in event of the series offered a $5 million guarantee and that number was smashed by more than double, as a total of 111 entrants created a prize pool of $11,100,000. The top 17 finishers earned a piece of it and now all eyes are on the bracelet and top prize of $2,940,000.
Only ten players will return for the third and final day and Japan's Masashi Oya sits atop the leaderboard with 18,150,000 in chips. GGPoker ambassador Jason Koon comes back second in chips, while four-time bracelet winner Nick Schulman rounds out the top three stacks.
The other players returning to the felt are Quan Zhou, Leon Sturm, Lucas Greenwood, Ben Heath, Danny Tang, Ivan Luca, and Leonard Maue.
