Event #3: $1,000 Mystery Millions – No-Limit Hold’em
After 6 days of play and its 18,188 entries, the Mystery Millions finally came to an end by crowning Tyler Brown, who won $1,000,000, the second biggest prize this year.
The tournament also made two other millionaires who didn’t needed to play that much, in the names of Shant Marashlian (138th) and Patrick Liang (62nd) as they correctly picked the biggest $1M bounties.
Our winner Tyler Brown only have 7 official live cashes, but he looks to have a promising future as he cashed three times this March in $10k events on the PokerGO Tour, including a second place for $146k.
Event #10: $10,000 Dealers Choice 6-Handed Championship
Chad Eveslage is now a three-time bracelet holder, and the first to win two bracelets this year, in the two Dealers Choice events held! Already making history, Chad won $311,428 by defeating Dutch Boyd in a Big O hand.
Many other well known player tried but couldn’t make it, including: Ari Engel (5th), Mike Gorodinsky (7th) and John Hennigan (9th).
Event #11: $600 No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack
Event #11 is currently the second largest event this year with 6,085 entries, totaling a prizepool of $3,1M.
Kenneth O’Donnell is the winner of this deep event for $351,098, winning against Jefferson Guerrero in the heads-up in just three hands. The KT of Guerrero didn’t held against the J8 of O’Donnell who turned up into a beautiful full house.
It is by far the biggest performance of O’Donnell so far:
“It’s absurdly lucky,” O’Donnell told. “These giant field events are an exercise of just repeatedly getting lucky, and I did.”
“I’m very, very happy to have been the ‘Chosen One’ for the poker gods today. This feels really special. I just feel really blessed.”
In Progress
In Event #12: $5,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed, 16 remains. Jeremy Eyer leads the pack and is closely followed by Felipe Ramos (2nd). Josh Arieh (28th) and Kristen Foxen (30th) fell short and couldn’t make it to day 3.
Event #14: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship has started with 111 entries and its load of well known names, and we can’t wait to see who’s going to make the cut!
