Event #77: $777 Lucky 7’s No-Limit Hold’em
Shawn Daniels is the lucky winner of event #77, taking home $777,777. He defeated the Frenchman Julien Montois in the heads-up, who won a cool $400,777 for the second place. It’s the first bracelet for the American, who has an impressive record of 14 top 10 finishes on the WSOP Circuit, including two rings, and now totals $2,6M in live earnings.
A happy moment, contrasting with recent hardships for Daniels: “I recently lost my fiancé so it’s been a tough summer,” he confessed. “I just wish she was here to celebrate it also. But it is what it is, it’s nice to get it done.”
Event #76: $10,000 MAIN EVENT No-Limit Hold’em World Championship
It was day 5 yesterday at the Main Event, and we went from 440 to 149 players. Zachary Hall built the largest stack by far yesterday and has more than 200BB at 16,3M chips.
On the notables side, Tony Dunst now ranks 7th at 8,2M in chips. Will also come back today: John Racener (13th), Alec Torelli (77th), Nicholas Rigby (120th), John Duthie (124th) and poker coach Fausto Valdez (127th).
We saw Davidi Kitai losing in 194th, Jason Koon, Chris Brewer, Jason Somerville and finally Chance Kornuth who went to the rail by losing a massive pot early yesterday with AK against Nicholas Rigby‘s aces.
Also losing was Bill Klein who was involved in a really cool hand:
Not your typical OMC.
