Day 3 of Event #23: $1,500 Shootout No Limit Hold'em gets underway at 12 noon with 16 players left remaining, which is more than the traditional final table of ten in the normal shootout format, but thanks to the 1534 entries the final day will have a different format. The 16 remaining players will begin on two tables but play down to a winner as if its a regular tournament with 16 players left.
They are all aiming for the $305,849 top prize, while the first players out today will get $15,027.

There are countless notables left among the final 16 who will all start close to even in chips. There is Darius Samual who already won a bracelet in the $25,000 Heads Up Championship and has been one of the early stories of this WSOP. Another run at a bracelet here today would really establish him as a WSOP player of the year candidate.
There are four other bracelet winners left on Day 3 to make for a little over one-fourth of the field holding bracelets already. Those bracelet winners include; Daniel Strelitz and Scott Ball who are both going for their third bracelet.
Vitor Dzivielevski is going for his third and is looking to do so in the event that his brother Yuri Dzivielevski came in fifth-place last year.
And then there is Jeremy Ausmus who has a full set of six bracelets to his name already, all of which have come since 2021.
Among the non bracelet winners there are nine Americans, a Greek and an Aussie who are all looking to write their name in lights for the first time at the WSOP, most notably Daniel Sepiol who has almost $7 million in career earnings and will push past that mark here today if he finishes 5th or better.
Day 3 will start today at noon local time at the Horseshoe Event Center. With 40-minute levels punctuated by a 15-minute break every three levels, the action will continue until a new champion is crowned.
PokerNews will have all the updates on what promises to be a very exciting final day of action.
