Only those who had recently won WSOP bracelets or WSOP circuit rings were eligible. Day earned a berth in the contest by taking home his maiden circuit ring in Elizabeth, Indiana, only a few weeks ago. He had previously placed in three WSOP events, but the top prize he won has now surpassed all of his previous WSOP winnings combined.<\/p>\n<h3>Thrilling Final Table Action<\/h3>\n<p>Out of the 989 qualifiers, 741 players participated in the freeroll tournament, with the top seven players returning for a fourth day to compete for WSOP gold.<\/p>\n<p>Barry Schultz, the short stack who won the senior\u2019s event at Horseshoe Tunica in January to earn his entrance, was the first player to leave the table after his pocket jacks were busted on the turn.<\/p>\n<p>Only one Canadian was present at the final table, and Justin Hotte-McKinnon finished sixth. By winning a ring on WSOP.ca in March, Hotte-McKinnon qualified for the Tournament of Champions. The chip leader at the start of the day, Wissam Gahshan, qualified for the event by winning at The Bicycle Casino in December. He finished sixth, a career-high placing.<\/p>\n<p>Eliminations carried on as Day moved up the standings. The next elimination earned Hunter McClelland, a winner of two ring events on the WSOP PA, a sizable payoff. Patrick White, who had won at the Turning Stone stop of the WSOP circuit, ran into Day and fell to third.<\/p>\n<h3>Crowning the Champion<\/h3>\n<p>Heads-up play was short-lived as Day ultimately prevailed against Brent Gregory due to Gregory\u2019s large chip disadvantage. Gregory qualified with a victory at the WSOP Circuit event in Tulsa in March, and he achieved a career-best result by coming in second.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative mb-10\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/katsubet.partners\/a3a1ecddd\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/katsubet.partners\/a3a1ecddd\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 100% + 100 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
