The World Series of Poker Event #27: $3,000 Six Max No Limit Hold’em has 21 players returning for the final day of play. Once the field reaches the final table it will be streamed in its entirety exclusively on PokerGO. Max Silver leads the field with three times the average stack and a million more than second place Morten Mortensen.
The field is loaded with experienced players – Chris Moorman, Steve Sung and Michael Gagliano all finished in the top ten of the leader board. Samantha Cohen, Nacho Barbero, Simeon Naydenov, James Chen, Pratyush Buddiga and Alex Queen also return but with more modest chips stacks.
Silver is a High Roller based out of London – he made a deep run in the 2016 Main Event to 33rd place, finished in third in the 2014 $10,000 Six Max Championship and has $3.2 million in earnings.
