The 1,383rd-place finisher in the 2026 WSOP Main Event was eliminated, sending the remaining players into a loud celebration, and it just so happened to involve a past champion — Chris Moneymaker, along with two others.

Why were they cheering so hard for Moneymaker, the 2003 World Champion, and two others to bust? It wasn't anything personal against him, but his elimination meant the remaining players were all guaranteed to go home with a profit in the $10,000 buy-in tournament.

Day 3 ended with 1,389 players remaining, leaving just seven players to be eliminated before the bubble burst. Short stacks tightened up during the opening moments of play on Thursday, desperately trying to hold on at least until reaching the money. A min-cash is worth $15,000.
