Asi Moshe Leads the $3K Freezeout Final Table — But Watch Qiao Du

Qiao Du has $16,758 in lifetime tournament earnings, no bracelets, no rings, and right now she's sitting with 6.65M chips at the final table of Event #79, the $3,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em — the WSOP event where nobody gets a second bullet.

Nine players remain. Every one of them survived a single entry. No re-buys, no late reg heroics, no Day 1 mulligan. That's the freezeout promise, and it makes this final table hit different.

The Chip Counts That Matter

Asi Moshe, a four-time bracelet winner from Israel with $2.37M in lifetime cashes and eight career final tables, leads with 16.4M. He's the only player at this table who's won WSOP gold — let alone four times.

A four-time bracelet winner from Israel with $2.37M in lifetime cashes leads with 16.4M, but a player from China with $16,758 to her name is at the same table.

Igor Popyk of Ukraine sits second at 11.275M. Popyk has $485,596 in career earnings but just two lifetime final tables — this is his third.

Dustin Murphy, a one-ring WSOPC winner from the U.S. with $372,143 in earnings and 18 career final tables, is right on Du's heels at 6.625M.

Methavee Taveekitvatee of Thailand holds 4.8M.

Why Du's Stack Matters

Du's 6.65M isn't a short stack. She's firmly in the middle of the pack, with enough chips to play real poker against Moshe's lead. Her entire documented career — every cash, every min-cash, every satellite prize — adds up to less than twice the buy-in of this event.

In a re-entry tournament, the Moshes of the world get extra shots. In a freezeout, Du earned her seat exactly the same way he did: once.
