Bubble Bursts at 2022 WSOP Main Event

1,300 players are paid at this year’s World Series of Poker Main Event as the bubble bursts during Day 4. Poker room is always buzzing amid these intense times, and it was no different this time around. Followed by a big celebration and sights of relief of many short stacks as well. You can check the whole bubble play in the video below.

8,663 entries in the Main Event means this is the second biggest field created in the history, trailing only 2016 when 8,773 players entered the event and the eventual winner was Jamie Gold, who also pocketed the largest prize of $12 million.

Speaking of Main Event winners, 6 of them started Day 4 including 2021 reigning champion Koray Aldemir, Damian Salas (2020), John Cynn (2018), Ryan Riess (2013), Greg Merson (2012) and none other than Chris Moneymaker (2003). Unfortunately for them, only Aldemir and Salas remain among the 400-something that will return tomorrow for Day 5.

$15,000 was the min cash reward and cool $10,000,000 is reserved for first place prize, but there’s still many days to be played. 380 players will return for Day 5 with Tyler von Kriegenbergh as a chip leader with 5.3 million in chips, followed closely by Dan Colpoys (4.8m) and Johan Schumacher (4.6m).
