The money bubble looms as day 3 of the record-smashing 2023 World Series of Poker $10,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event has come to a close. There are now just 1,517 remaining from the largest-ever turnout in the storied history of this event: 10,043 players. That means that just ten more eliminations will see the remaining 1,507 contenders lock up at least $15,000 as they continue the quest for this year’s championship gold bracelet and the staggering top payout of $12,100,000.
The chip leader is Antonio Mallol Heredia with 1,899,000. The Spanish player will be in prime position to blow away his prior top score of $49,610 which he earned with a fourth-place finish in the 2018 Los Angeles Poker Open $1,100 main event.

The second-largest stack heading into day 4 will belong to none other than three-time bracelet winner and World Poker Tour champion Chance Kornuth. The 37-year-old poker pro bagged up 1,887,000 to put him less than two big blinds out of the lead.
Kornuth has been red-hot this summer. Since the start of June he has cashed 11 times, including five final table finishes and one title earned in a $2,200 mystery bounty event at the Wynn Summer Classic. His spree has seen him add more than $3.6 million to his career earnings, bringing his lifetime total to $16.1 million.
Kornuth also earned his first-ever seven-figure payday during this stretch, placing fifth in the $250,000 buy-in high roller bracelet event at the series for $1,202,318. He could another million-plus payday by making the top eight in this event. Full payouts for the tournament can be found at the bottom of this article.
In addition to Kornuth, there are numerous other notables who bagged seven-figure stacks at the end of day 3, including bracelet winner Pei Lei (1,742,000), Nicholas Rigby (1,719,000), bracelet winner Michael Banducci (1,469,000), two-time bracelet winner Chris Brewer (1,447,000), bracelet winner Jonathan Dimmig (1,446,000), bracelet winner Nikita Luther (1,294,000), bracelet winner David Moses (1,181,000), two-time World Poker tour champion James Carroll (1,164,000), bracelet winner Lok Chan (1,146,000), bracelet winner and two-time Card Player Player of the Year award winner Stephen Chidwick (1,106,000), two-time bracelet winner Jesse Lonis (1,100,000), bracelet winner Shota Nakanishi (1,072,000), three-time bracelet winner Yuri Dzivielevski (1,059,000), all-time leading WSOP Circuit ring winner Maurice Hawkins (1,028,000), and bracelet winner Jason Somerville (1,027,000).

There were plenty of notables among those to hit the rail, including six-time bracelet winner Brian Hastings, four-time bracelet winner Anthony Zinno, six-time bracelet winner Shaun Deeb, four-time bracelet winner Mike Matusow, three-time bracelet winner David Bach, and Tom Dwan.
