Event #37: $2,000 No-Limit Holdem
The 1,962 entries build up a first prize of $524,777, which went to China’s Yuan Li. He defeated the Canadian Jonathan Camara who earned $324k.
It’s the first bracelet for the player who crossed the $2M in total live earnings. He notably won a No Limit Hold’em – Super High Roller at the 2016 Asia Championship of Poker for more than $860k.
In progress
Event #38: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship will add another day to decide who will win between Benny Glaser, leading with a 2 to 1 lead, and Sweden’s Oscar Johansson. The two men will battle for $311,428. Some high profiles lost in the final table, including Julien Martini (5th), David “Bakes” Baker (6th) and Joao Vieira (7th).
Nine players still have their chance to put their hands on the huge $5,2M first prize in Event #40: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold’em. The 69 entries built a massive prizepool of $17M. Here is the chip count for those returning:
