Zak Delaimy Leads Millionaire Maker Final Table With 2.3M Chips

Zak Delaimy bagged 2,300,000 chips to lead the final table of the $1,500 Millionaire Maker — WSOP Event #50 — after four starting flights at the Horseshoe and Paris in Las Vegas.

The Stacks

Delaimy, from the United States, holds more than double the next-closest stack. James Dierks sits second with 1,010,000 chips, followed by France's Sandrine Zeitoun at 445,000. Juan Paulino (285,000) and Charles Coddington (225,000) round out the five named stacks heading into the final table.

None of the five leaders have a WSOP bracelet or Circuit ring on their résumé — a first gold bracelet and a seven-figure payday are on the line for whoever survives.

What to Watch

The Millionaire Maker is one of the WSOP's flagship events each summer, built around a $1,500 buy-in that historically draws one of the largest fields of the series. The name is the promise: a guaranteed million-dollar first prize.

Delaimy's 2,300,000-chip stack gives him significant room to maneuver, but James Dierks — with just over a million behind — is the only other player above seven figures. The gap between second and third is substantial: Zeitoun's 445,000 sits at less than half of Dierks's count.

Final-table play is expected to resume at the Horseshoe. Charlotte will report the result when the bracelet is awarded.
