Two bracelets in a year for Ryan Miller! After winning Event #63: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship three weeks ago, Miller gets a second bracelet and $208,460. Leonard August lost in second place and will still get a nice $128,835.

“I came in today feeling pretty good, but right away he evened it up, so at that point, I thought that anything could happen. The limits are high, so if anyone wins three or four hands in a row it’s gonna swing their way. But then the next round or two went my way and I finished it.”, Miller told in the post-win interview.

Five returned to end the tournament yesterday, and starting chip leader Martin Nielsen from Denmark made the chips talk to put his hands on the bracelet. John Juanda did not succeed in raising the stack that would give him a chance to win a sixth bracelet, thus finishing 5th.

“It’s so weird, though, I thought I would be nervous,” Nielsen said after his victory, “I don’t know, I am a full-time short-deck cash player, but I mostly play online.”

Event #94: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold’em

Alex Keating is the winner of the penultimate event of the year and grabbed the $701,688 top prize. Keating improves his previous best live performance of getting 3rd for $423,890 in 2016’s $9,600 + 400 No Limit Hold’em WPT Championship. Keating crosses the $3M mark in total live earnings with this victory.

When Paul Berger came to casino yesterday morning, he didn’t came to play but to close out the remaining money in his account. When he noticed this super turbo event was happening, he decided to jump in.

Only twelve hours of play were needed to go from 1,482 entries to one winner with the unexpected Paul Berger taking out this very last event of the year for $212,645. A huge performance for the Las Vegas local who denied Yuri Dzivielevski a second bracelet this year by beating him in the heads-up. Still a great year for the brazilian who’ll end with 12 cashes, 4 final tables and one bracelet.

“I think I played every single hand in this tournament to the best of my ability, and there was not any point that I ever gave up for one second, even if I didn’t have a lot of chips. Your mental health is a huge part of the game, just your mentality,” Smith said.

“Throughout my entire life, I’ve just been a very calm and chill person. There’s not many things that get to me. I’m not someone who’s going to raise my voice or if someone says something to me, I don’t usually make a big deal about it or say something back, you know? I just do my thing.”

With more than $7M in total live earnings and 64 cashes at the WSOP, he didn’t have any bracelet yet…Faraz Jaka finally succeeded yesterday in grabbing his first in this shootout event for $237,367.

Five time bracelet winner Adam Friedman lost in 8th place for $29k, and Yuri Dzivielevski was out fifth for $63k.

“Pretty great and just taking it all in,” Jaka said about his feelings. “I was so zoned in that, I’m still kind of decompressing. I mean, I’ve gotten a lot of seconds and thirds, not just in WSOP but also in like WPT events and so on. So, it’s definitely nice to kind of get that monkey off my back and I feel like it’s just one of those things and I’m gonna start shipping the rest now.”

Peruvian Diego Ventura earns his first bracelet and the first one for his country by taking down event #86. He defeated Thomas Kysar in the heads-up to take home the first prize of $402,054. Ventura crossed the $2M mark in live earnings but this win is not his biggest ever, he made $907,080 in 2015 by finishing runner-up in the PCA Main Event.

Ventura was getting pretty emotional during the tournament: “I was actually getting emotional way before, like when I got to the final table I already wanted to cry. I was like, wait it’s not the moment yet, so I was trying to calm myself down. So when the moment arrived I was like so calm that I couldn’t let my emotions out until, I just started to look back at my life and in that moment I got emotional.”
