It seems an interesting race to the last table at the 2023 WPT World Championship as the top of the leaderboard is tight entering into Day 5. Leading the 45 staying gamers is Mark Mounsey with 18.725 million chips.
There are a handful of gamers not far behind Mounsey: Maxime Chilaud with 17.900 million chips, Ren Lin with 17.750 million, and Raphael Blouet with 17.450 million. Not far off the speed, specifically thinking about the blinds are about to be 100,000/ 200,000 with a 200,000-chip ante, are Ben Heath with 16.600 million and Ben Jacobs with 16.425 million.
3 previous World Poker Tour champs are still in the field: Chris Moorman (10.200 million chips), Alex Foxen (4.425 million), and Roberto Romanello (4.050 million).
Mounsey succeeded thanks in big part to a large hand towards completion of Day 4. Mounsey raised pre-flop from the button just to see Igor Kurganov move all-in for 3.8 million chips. Mounsey, having his challenger well covered, called with A-K offsuit, while Kurganov revealed A-J of diamonds.
Mounsey struck a King on a rainbow, no-diamond K-9-9 flop and all Kurganov might do was expect runner-runner directly. He really got a Queen on the turn, however that was it and he was gotten rid of in 48th location. That alleviation check of $111,300 isn’t too worn-out, though.
That pot took Mounsey’s accumulate to 19.200 million, very little greater than where he ended Day 4.
According to TheHendonMob.com database, the $111,300 that Mounsey is ensured if he stops working to go up a single area in the standings (that would be a shock if that took place, obviously), is more than triple his overall life time live competition revenues. His finest live money is simply $3,396. The next pay dive alone is nearly as much as his life time overall of $33,440.
Day 5 is set up to begin at twelve noon PT from the Wynn Las Vegas. The strategy is to play another 5 90-minute levels, with the six-handed last table slated for Thursday. Fans can view today’s action live (with a 30-minute hold-up) on the World Poker Tour’s YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook pages.
