Hilton Laborda leads Brazil into Day 5 of Main Event
At the end of Day 4 of the Main Event, less than 5% of the entrants still had a chance to win the most coveted bracelet in the 2023 WSOP. Of the 14 Brazilians who advanced, none did better than Hilton Laborda. He currently has 2,895,000 in chips, about 115 BBS, and ranks 33rd out of 441 qualifiers.
Hilton has experience running deep in the main event. 12 years ago, he was on day 7. The casual player was eliminated in 36th place, adding $242,636 to his bankroll.
Earlier on Day 4, the ITM bubble burst, Jeppe Bisgaard, Yueqi Wang and Peter Nigh, these players were playing in the same hand – the hand fell. They then shared the top two prizes from the $15,000 prize pool. Bisgaard even won a flip between the three and secured a buy-in for the next Main Event.
Meanwhile, Ryan Tosoc took the championship lead with 5,120,000 in chips. He is followed by Mitchell Halverson, a pro who finished 15th in the 2021 Main Event.
Play will resume at 4pm BST with blinds 10,000/25,000 and ante BB. Five 120-minute levels are also held here. Check Brazil chip count:
