Event #417's Overnight Bloodbath Is Still Going

Twenty-two players are left in WSOP Event #417 — a $200 Daily Deepstack that started the night with a full field and has been carving through it for hours.

The field hit the 100-player mark earlier in the session with 61 still alive. Now it's at 22. That's 39 eliminations in what feels like a blink — a pace that turns a $200 tournament into a genuinely watchable grind.

Who's Still Standing

Michael Grigoletti and Yeonkyeong Yu are both listed among the leaders at the 27-player milestone. Yu, from South Korea, is one of several international players still alive in a field that's quietly become a global affair.

The player with the most verifiable chips right now is Waku Harako, who bagged 338,000 at the 100-player mark and has since built to 786,000. That's a 132% increase while the field got cut by more than half. Harako, from Japan, has been the most consistent stack in the tournament all session.

The Bracelet Holder in the Mix

Jerome Neppl — one bracelet, $64,083 in lifetime cashes — was still alive at the 100-player mark with 195,000 in chips. Whether he survived to 22 isn't confirmed, but he was the only bracelet winner spotted in the field reports.

For a $200 buy-in on a holiday weekend, this one has real texture: an international short list, a bracelet holder lurking, and a pace of eliminations that suggests whoever wins will have earned it across a brutal overnight session.

Play is expected to continue until a winner is crowned or the tournament reaches a scheduled break.
