Event #94: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship

Day 3 Completed

Fahredin Mustafov Leads Final Four Into Unscheduled Day 4 of $10,000 6-Handed Championship

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov will take the chip lead into an unscheduled Day 4 of Event #94: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship after 11 hours of six-handed action at the 2026 World Series of Poker inside the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

The Bulgarian professional, who also topped the counts at the end of Day 2, ducked and weaved his way through the 33 returning players before bagging 11,375,000 to finish as the overnight chip leader once again. He'll return in the best position of the final four, all with their sights set on the bracelet and the $1,001,391 top prize.

The United States' David Peters sits second with 9,025,000, while seven-time bracelet winner Calvin Anderson returns with 7,275,000 as he looks to capture his third bracelet of the series. Lithuania's Dominykas Mikolaitis bagged 6,050,000 after winning multiple all-ins during the final level, including the last hand of the night when his ace-jack held against Mustafov's ace-ten.

Day 3 Action

The day began with several short stacks looking to spin up, but it didn't take long for the field to start thinning. Armin Rezaei was the first to fall after four-bet jamming a suited ace into the bigger ace of Kully Sidhu. Dario Sammartino, Aliaksei Boika, Loic Debregeas, Aliaksandr Shylko, and Jamie O'Connor were among those to fall during the day's play.

Mustafov spent most of the day near the top of the chip counts and was aided by a huge pot that sent John Racener to the rail. Mustafov turned a flush and fired on every street before Racener called off the rest of his stack on the river with two pair, helping the Bulgarian climb into second in chips as the unofficial final table neared.

The final table was set when Kyle Julius saw his ace-eight beaten by Justin Liberto, who rivered a Broadway straight to eliminate his compatriot. Tzur Levy and Vladas Tamasauskas both nursed short stacks for much of the final table, but eventually exited in seventh and sixth place, respectively. Liberto's own tournament came to an end in fifth after first losing the bulk of his stack to Mikolaitis before Anderson finished the job.

The remaining players will return for an unscheduled Day 4 at 2 p.m. local time on Tuesday, July 14, inside the Horseshoe Events Center. Play will resume on Level 31 with blinds at 120,000/240,000 and a 240,000 big blind ante. Levels will continue to last 60 minutes until a champion is crowned. The final four have locked up $306,313, but all sit within touching distance of a WSOP bracelet and the seven-figure first-place prize.
