N��vel 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Montgomery McQuade open-jammed a stack of 4.9 million in the hijack and Matt Glantz called in the big blind.
Montgomery McQuade: K?10?
Matt Glantz: 4?4?
"TeamLucky" got off to a smashing start as the flop landed 4?A?5? to give Glantz a set and have McQuade drawing to just runner-runner Broadway. The 9? turn left him drawing dead before the 9? river as the Brit was eliminated in the second hand of Day 4.
The final day of the 2023 World Series of Poker Paradise Main Event in The Bahamas has seven players returning for a chance to become the first-ever WSOP Paradise Main Event champion. Leading the way is Australia's Daniel Neilson with a stack of 37,400,000 as he chases a first bracelet and redemption after being denied by Boris Kolev last week in Event #6: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed.
Neilson received most of those chips late in the evening of Day 3 as he flopped a set to double through the top pair of Matt Glantz, who is hoping to bring his friend group of Shaun Deeb, Josh Arieh and reigning Main Event champion Daniel Weinman another title after Weinman's $12.1 million summer victory.
"TeamLucky" will have to get through a final table that includes Brazil's Gabriel Schroeder (28,000,000), Germany��s Stanislav Zegal (28,000,000), Portugal��s Rui Sousa (20,700,000), Czech Republic��s Michael Sklenicka (16,000,000) and the United Kingdom's Montgomery McQuade.
