WSOP 2013 Event #54 $1,000 No Limit Hold’em had 2,883 entrants, the buy-ins contributing to the $2,594,700 prize pool. Only 239 of them remained, which meant the bubble bursting already on Day 1, the 297th finisher taking home $1,894. The chipleader at the end of the day was Edward Nassif and the field included Jesse Sylvia, Matt Salsberg, Erik Seidel and WSOP champion Péter Traply, among others.
On Day 3, only 14 of those could return and the lead belonged by far to Barry Hutter, who had 2,054,000 in chips in front of him, while second biggest stack Joseph Wertz sat behind 1,069,000 and the average was 617,786. Play started on Level 22 (2,000/8,000/16,000) and they played it down to the final nine in about two hours.
The Final Table seat draw was as follows:
Seat 1: Michael Zucchet – 868,000

Play started on Level 24 (4,000/12,000/24,000) and with a double double-up from shortstack Dana Castaneda: first, her A-J was enough against Hutter’s 5-6s, and then her sevens improved to a set against Michael Zucchet’s A-K.
The first out was Kenneth Gregersen, who called all-in with 835,000 in chips preflop on Hutter’s re-raise shove. Gregersen had

Dana Castaneda – 7,200,000
Jason Bigelow – 1,450,000
