Three Landmark Mega Satellites, Zero Bracelets, One Long Night

Three Landmark Mega Satellites are grinding past midnight at the Horseshoe right now, at $240, $585, and $1,100, and not a single player across all three fields owns a WSOP bracelet.

These are the last cheap on-ramps into the WSOP's marquee new event. And the people fighting for seats look nothing like the Landmark's eventual final table will.

Not a single player across all three fields owns a WSOP bracelet.

The $240: Final Table, Nine Left

The cheapest path is the furthest along. Nine players remain at the final table, headlined by Simon Britton, who has $485K in lifetime earnings and 12 career final tables. Also still alive: Gilbert Jean-Charles (France), Margaret Zampino, Dominic Brazier, and Hakimu Davidson, who led when the field was at 15 with 36,000 chips.

The $1,100: Two Tables, 12 Remain

The most expensive satellite is down to 12. William Lahti holds 62,000 chips and leads the remaining field. Lahti has $63K in lifetime cashes and two prior final tables. The biggest résumé still in contention belongs to someone already eliminated by the two-table mark: Maximiliano Castagnini of Argentina, who carried $398K in lifetime earnings and three final tables into the event but busted before the final 12.

Ping Lin (China, $250K lifetime) was also in this field at the 19-player mark. Shogo Takenaga (Japan) and Huanglin Wu ($45K lifetime) are among the dozen still alive.

The $585: Grinding Through 17

The mid-tier satellite started the latest and still has 17 players across two tables. The most credentialed player remaining is Andreas Frohli (Switzerland), who holds one WSOPC ring, $285K in lifetime earnings, and seven career final tables. Myles German ($367K lifetime, one final table) and Frank Lin ($504K lifetime, one WSOPC ring, 15 final tables) were both in the field at 21 players.

Timothy Boerum (three final tables, $34K lifetime) has appeared in the last two milestone updates and is still hanging around.

What's at Stake

All three satellites feed the same destination. The buy-in gap between a $240 satellite and the Landmark itself is enormous, which explains why these fields are packed with players who have little or no tournament résumé on record. This is where someone's WSOP story starts.

All three are expected to wrap before 4 AM PT on July 2.
