Day 3 of WSOP 2013 Event #37 $5,000 Limit Hold’em saw 12 players returning with Todd Witteles in the chiplead and poker aces like Justin Bonomo, Ronnie Bardah and Greg Mueller in the field. The event started with 170 entrants, the prize pool grew to $799,000 and the top 18 finishes paid. 103 players made it to Day 2 and the bubble burst towards the end of it, Danny Warchol bubbling the money.

Day 3 started on Level 19 (6,000/12,000) and it took three eliminations for the final table to form. After Steve Landfish busted out in 10th, the seats of the finale were drawn as follows:

Seat 1: Brian Aleksa – 273,000
Seat 2: Greg Mueller – 299,000
Seat 3: Todd Witteles – 384,000
Seat 4: Ben Yu – 149,000
Seat 5: Dom Denotaristefani – 427,000
Seat 6: Ronnie Bardah – 318,000
Seat 7: Gabriel Nassif – 158,000
Seat 8: Justin Bonomo – 219,000
Seat 9: Michael Moore – 323,000


It took relatively long for the first elimination to occur: on Level 22 (12,000/24,000), Mueller opened and Bonomo called all-in with less in chips.

Mueller: {#}A {#}6
Bonomo: {#}J {#}9

Board: {#}8 {#}K {#}5 {#}T {#}A

Bonomo was out in 9th.

It was Mueller, who came next, shoving with A-4 and meeting Gabriel Nassif’s A-J on the neutral board. Ben Yu, Dom Denotaristefani, Witteles and Brian Aleksa followed, before the heads-up could be set on Level 26 (30,000/60,000). WSOP 2012 $2,500 LHE Six Handed champion Bardah moved all-in on the {#}A {#}3 {#}8 flop and Nassif called.

Bardah: {#}K {#}9
Nassif: {#}K {#}3

Turn: {#}7
River: {#}T

Frenchman PS Team Online member Nassif gained a 2:1 edge over US player Michael Moore to begin the heads-up with:

Gabriel Nassif – 1,680,000
Michael Moore – 870,000


In the long duel, Moore managed to come back and even take over to have Nassif at a disadvantage when the latter moved all-in preflop on Level 28 (50,000/100,000). Moore called and the cards were tabled.

Nassif: {#}Q {#}J
Moore: {#}T {#}4

Board: {#}T {#}J {#}8 {#}T {#}2

Moore took down the tournament with a set of tens.
