Matthew Su and Espen Jorstad started the final event at the 2022 WSOP with 83.2 million apiece in chips. With the 8663 entrants in this year’s event now whittled down to the final three, this has been one of the greatest in the 53-year history of the event.

Ten players started the day with a chance to go through to the final table, but only Jorstad, Adrian Attenborough, and Michael Duek are still standing, with the guarantees of a big payday for each. Duek, at 23 is the youngest of the group and all three have form, with Jorstad winning the GGPoker.com Main Event last year, Duek took home $548,015 in the Omaha eight-max event earlier this year, and Attenborough finishing third at the 2017 Bellagio Cup.
