The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #56: $500 Salute to Warriors No-Limit Hold'em started the final day with 14 players chasing poker's most sought-after trophy, but by day's end, Steven Genovese stood alone atop the 4,303-entry field to take home the $217,921 first-place prize and his first WSOP gold bracelet.
The money bubble was reached just a couple of levels into Day 2 with 646 of the 661 returning players going home with a payday, but through the rest of the day, fast-paced action condensed the field down to the two seven-handed tables that would return for Day 3 to crown a champion.
