August and Miller Return for Heads-Up Battle on Extra Day 4 of the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E.
After a Day 3 clash that lasted deep into the night, Ryan Miller and Leonard August are the two players that will return to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas today to decide who will win one of the final bracelets of the 2023 World Series of Poker on an extra Day 4 of Event #91: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E..
Miller, who won his maiden bracelet this year in the $10,000 Stud Hi-Lo 8-or-Better Championship, will be coming in with more than double the chips of August, who is trying to follow in Miller's footsteps and capture his first WSOP bracelet in this event. Still, if the final hours of Day 3 are anything to go by, the title fight is not decided yet. With August still having eight big bets at his disposal, there is still plenty of room for him to maneuver himself to a victory, even with Miller having the edge at the start.
Heads-Up Chip Counts
| Name | Country | Chip Count | Big Bets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Miller | United States | 9,300,000 | 19 |
| Leonard August | United States | 3,925,000 | 8 |
The pair have already outlasted the other 329 players that started the tournament, as well as the legendary final table that took place on Day 3. However, fighting over the lion's share of the $886,440 prize pool, Miller and August were the final two titans remaining on a final table with two Hall of Famers and 12 bracelets won across the eight players that sat down. With the winner taking home a cash prize of $208,460, as well as an iconic WSOP bracelet, there is still plenty to fight for, however.
