4 AM at the Horseshoe: Four Events, 148 Players, Zero Quit

It's 4 AM in Las Vegas and four events are still running at the Horseshoe — a $3K Freezeout bracelet event at 27 players, a $600 Deepstack Championship at 87, a $250 Seniors Deepstack down to its final two tables, and a pair of mega satellites fighting for Landmark seats.

This is what the WSOP graveyard shift looks like in early July.

The Bracelet Race: Event #79, $3K Freezeout

Twenty-seven players remain in the $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em. Recent bustouts include Radoslav Stoyanov — a Bulgarian pro with $852K in lifetime earnings and four career final tables — and Anh Do, who carries nearly $600K in cashes and two final tables of his own. Both hit the rail just outside the money bubble window. Whoever's still seated at those 27 spots is chasing gold.

The Big Field: Event #78, $600 Deepstack Championship

Day 2 of the $600 Deepstack Championship is down to 87 from its earlier milestone of 100. Ukraine's Oleksandr But leads with 1,800,000 in chips, followed by South Korea's Min Kim at 1,630,000 and Alexander Beck at 1,400,000. Ireland's Killian Farrell sits fourth with 1,020,000. None of these players hold a bracelet or a ring — this field is pure grinder energy.

The Seniors Grind: Event #395, $250 Seniors Deepstack

Two tables left, 18 players, and the chip leader is Kenneth Taffaro with 960,000. Taffaro is a WSOP Circuit ring winner with $192K in lifetime earnings and seven career final tables — easily the most decorated player at the table. Giuseppe Galluzzo, another ring holder with $547K in career cashes and four final tables, is right behind at 835,000. Bruce Hoffman rounds out the top three at 570,000.

This one could wrap before sunrise.

The Satellites

The $240 Daily Mega Satellite is down to its final four players. The $585 Landmark Mega Satellite still has 39 grinding for seats. Both feed into upcoming marquee events — and both are deep into the night with no end in sight.

Four events across three buy-in tiers, 148 total players, and the Horseshoe floor humming at an hour when most of the Strip has gone dark. The WSOP doesn't sleep in July.
