The tournament attracted 697 entries to create a prize pool of $1,045,000. After three days of play, Christian Pham, who qualified for the tournament via a $200 satellite, walked away with the $214,322 first-place prize and a seat into the 2014 National Championship.
According to the WSOP Live Blog, Day 3 action resumed in Level 26 (15,000/30,000/5,000) with 14 players still in contention. That meant five players needed to go before the final table was set, and they ended up being William Chao (14th – $13,121), Philip Woerner (13th – $13,121), Ben Keeline (12th – $16,122), Chris Bonita (11th – $16,122), and Joseph Elia (10th – $16,122).
The first elimination of the final table came in Level 27 (20,000/40,000/5,000) when Chris Lindh raised from the cutoff only to have Jesse Wilke three-bet all in from the small blind. The big blind folded, Lindh called off his remaining 900,000, and the cards were turned up.
