Canada’s Alex Livingston bagged the seventh-highest stack of 2,530,000 chips as 15 players survived Day 3 of Event #60: $50,000 Poker Players Championship. Benny Glaser leads the remaining 108-entry field at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

The prestigious mixed games centerpiece of the World Series of Poker is rapidly approaching its final stages at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Event #60: $50,000 Poker Players Championship attracted a competitive field of 108 entries, creating a total prize pool of $5,130,000. 

At the conclusion of a high-stakes Day 3, only 15 players remain in contention. Each surviving contender has guaranteed themselves a six-figure cash prize, though the largest payouts await over the final two days of tournament play.

Among the marquee names navigating their way into the overnight top 10 is Canada’s Alex Livingston. The Canadian pro secured a prominent position on the leaderboard, bagging up 2,530,000 chips to claim the seventh-highest stack heading into Day 4. 

Livingston sits comfortably within striking distance of the chip leaders, positioning Canada well in the hunt for one of the most coveted titles in professional poker.

Day 3 action commenced with 39 players returning to their seats at the feature stage area. The opening level of the day proved highly volatile, resulting in swift eliminations. Yuri Dzivielevski was the first player knocked out during the session. 

Shortly after, David “ODB” Baker lost his entire stack across three consecutive hands, all of which involved Robert Wells. 

Jared Bleznick was the next casualty to hit the rail. The tournament field condensed down to its final five tables following the elimination of James Tilton, who bowed out during a Razz hand against Maksim Pisarenko.

As the remaining 15 players look ahead, the battle at the top of the chip counts remains fierce. The United Kingdom’s Benny Glaser, recognized globally for his versatility in mixed games, climbed from second place on Day 2 to seize the overall tournament chip lead with 4,705,000. 

Close behind him is Paul Volpe with 4,020,000 chips, while Kristopher Tong rounds out the top three stacks with 3,305,000.
The remaining lineup features an incredibly stacked field of seasoned professionals. Alongside Livingston in the top ten leaderboard are Josh Arieh with 2,640,000, poker icon Phil Ivey with 2,555,000, and Jason Mercier with 2,180,000. 

Meanwhile, Phil Hellmuth survived the day to keep his dreams of a record-extending 18th World Series of Poker gold bracelet alive, though he will return to action as one of the shorter stacks with 545,000 chips.

With elite players filling out the chip counts and massive financial rewards remaining on the line, the final two days of Event #60 are set to deliver a highly competitive conclusion to this premier mixed games tournament.
