$200 Daily Deepstack Down to 23 — Zero Bracelets Among Them

Twenty-three players remain in the $200 Daily Deepstack at the Horseshoe, and not a single one of them owns a bracelet.

Event #404 has compressed fast — from 94 players to 53 to 23 across three tracked milestones — and the leaderboard reads like a roll call of grinders who've been waiting for exactly this kind of shot.

The Names to Watch

Andre Butler carries the deepest tournament résumé still alive: $163,920 in lifetime earnings and four prior final tables, all without a WSOP title. Shawn Nobakht is close behind at $97,924 lifetime with two final tables of his own. Neither has a ring. Neither has a bracelet. For a $200 buy-in, the stakes feel personal.

The International Contingent

Paulo Roldan of Argentina is among the leaders with no recorded lifetime earnings on file — a true unknown. Gianroberto Marelli of Italy, who held 244,000 chips when the field was at 53, is still alive at 225,000. Vincent Ployet of France rounds out the international presence with $10,075 in career cashes.

Three countries, three continents, zero combined bracelets.

What You're Watching

This is the purest version of a WSOP bracelet event: a $200 buy-in where the field has been stripped down to unknowns and small-stakes grinders, and somebody is about to win gold for less than the cost of a Nobu omakase. The stream should run through the early-morning hours PT as the final table forms.
