The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) continues to crown new champions and award hefty cash prizes. Two more bracelets were awarded on Day 43 of the ongoing series, with American poker legend Chance Kornuth winning WSOP Event #85: $1,000 GGPoker Flip N Go for his fourth bracelet and $155,446 in top prize money. He overcame a field of 1,088 entrants and bested Thailand’s Kannapong Thanarattrakul in the heads-up. Thanarattrakul took home $103,633 as the runner-up finisher.
The heads-up did not last long with Kannapong Thanarattrakul shoving with ace-four in the very first hand and lost to Kornuth’s queen-jack when a jack appeared on the turn.

Francisco Perez Moreno Leads Into Day 4 of WSOP Main Event; Tarun Goyal Headlines Indian Hopefuls
The biggest highlight on Day 43 of the 2024 World Series of Poker was the record-breaking main event. A total of 3,617 survived Day 2abc and Day 2d and returned for Day 3 of the historic event. At the end of the day, only 1,524 remained to return for Day 4. With the top 1517 finishers set to make the money, we are just seven places away from the money bubble. This means that we will see the money bubble burst in the early hours on Day 4.
With a record-breaking $94 million prize pool on the line and a life-changing top prize of $10m – the Spanish player Francisco Perez Moreno leads the pack into Day 4, with a massive stack of 2,187,000 chips and he is the only player to cross two million chips in the field. Canadian crusher Alex Livingston (1,808,000), Justin Datloff (1,819,000), American Francis Anderson (1,660,000), high roller hero Ren Lin (1,570,000), eight-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Matt Stout (1,670,000), and Argentinian superstar Nacho Barbero (1,289,000) all ended Day 3 among the big stacks.
Some big names to survive and make Day 4 were the 10-time WSOP bracelet winner Erik Seidel (78,000), seven-time winner Daniel Negreanu (74,000) and the reigning 2023 world champion Daniel Weinman (82,000) all hoping to spin up their 10-11 big blinds to move into Day 5 of the historic event.
From Team India, the former Adda52 Team Pro and DPT champion Tarun Goyal made waves on Day 3 of the main event, bagging an impressive 740,000 to feature him among the top 200 progressing from the day. Other Indians who advanced were Kevin Shah (554,000), WSOP2024 Super High Roller champion Santhosh Suvarna (322,000), and Siddarth Singhvi (113,000).
