This was a pretty calm day but it required to be awake pretty late – after 3 AM this morning – to see the end of two events:
# | Buy-in | Event | Player | Prize |

38 | $600 | WSOP.com ONLINE No-Limit Hold’em Knockout Bounty | 🇺🇸 Upeshka “gomezhamburg” De Silva | $98,263 |
Event #32: Seniors No-Limit Hold’em, which didn’t appear to be so big at first as limited to 50+ years old only, turned out to be a pretty massive one: 4th in total entries, and 3rd in total prize pool out of 33 completed events!

Two other events have reached the table final with very interesting line-ups!
Shaun Deeb, the reigning WSOP Player of the Year and currently 39th, leads the final table Event #35: $10,000 Dealers Choice 6-Handed. It is most likely that he will enter the top 10 of the race, and possibly reach 2nd place if he grabs the bracelet! They’re currently five left and Matt Glantz (WSOP records: 66 cashes, $3.1M in earnings) sits with the third stack.
Event #36: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em Shootout will resume today with a very stacked final table counting Andrew Lichtenberger, Justin Bonomo, and two well known French pros Johan Guilbert and Adrien Delmas.
Let’s hope for some beautiful action today!
