Here’s what to expect today at the World Series of Poker.

Tuesday’s schedule:

11 a.m. — $5,000 No-limit Hold ’em (4-day event)

Noon — $1,500 No-limit Hold ’em (Final day); $1,000 No-limit Hold ’em (Final day)

Players to watch:

* Justin Bonomo will have the chip lead when action resumes in the $50,000 buy-in Poker Players Championship with 13 players remaining. Bonomo, who also led after Day 2 of the five-day event, won a massive hand in Pot-limit Omaha to eliminate Jason Mercier in 16th place and retain his spot atop the chip counts. Lamar Wilkinson is in second place followed by Ray Dehkharghani, the winner of the $10,000 Razz Championship last month. Defending champion Mike Gorodinsky is alive but has the short stack.

* Professional poker player Matt Affleck, in search of his first bracelet, leads the $1,500 buy-in No-limit Hold ’em event with 28 players remaining. Affleck has 21 previous WSOP cashes for more than $809,000.

* David Nowakowski of Voorhees, New Jersey, has a commanding chip lead with 16 players left in the $1,500 buy-in Pot-limit Omaha Hi-Low/8 or Better event. Nowakowski has cashed in only two previous WSOP events.

* Ryan Riess, the 2013 WSOP Main Event winner, is one of 28 players left in the $1,000 buy-in No-limit Hold ’em event. Riess is in 14th place, well behind chip leader Enrico Rudelitz of Germany.

Monday’s highlights:

* Tournament novice Hung Le of Dayton, Ohio, won the $888 buy-in Crazy Eights No-limit Hold ’em event ($888,888).
