We have lots of new world champions since this night:
| # | Buy-in | Event | Player | Prize |
| 64 | $888 | Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold’em | 🇺🇸 Rick Alvarado | $888,888 |
| 66 | $1,500 | Limit Hold’em | 🇺🇸 David “ODB” Baker | $161,139 |
| 69 | $1,000 | Mini Main Event | 🇫🇷 Jeremy Saderne | $628,654 |
It’s finally Rick Alvarado, 8th when starting the final table (a coincidence, really?), that took down Event #64: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold’em. Rick bought in seven times in the tournament to grab his first bracelet. Aleksandras Rusinovas, chip leader at the beginning of the day, had a rough day and finished 5th, while Vivian Saliba ended 4th.
Event #66: $1,500 Limit Hold’em made David “ODB” Baker a two time bracelet winner, his first being in 2012 in the $2,500 8-Game Mix.
The brand new Event #69: $1,000 Mini Main Event saw Jeremy Saderne ending with all the chips. The Frenchman had no more than $100,000 in live total earnings until making this huge score! We almost crowned a women as Lula Taylor (2nd) and her particularly aggressive style was very close to win the whole event.
