Event #67: MAIN EVENT No-Limit Hold’em World Championship

The bubble popped a few minutes ago in the Main Event, leaving us with 1000 players making the money all securing a $15k prize.

After shoving with aces preflop, Kevin Campbell is our heartbroken bubble boy this year, he got cracked by the A9 of Chris Alafogiannis who made trips of the river.

Another brutal hand also happened a few hours ago:

It’s only the third cash of Dan Cates at the world series but he managed to make it count tonight as he defeated a tough competition to grab the $50k PPC bracelet for $954,020!

Event #65: MINI Main Event No-Limit Hold’em (freezeout)

The $1,000 tournament took only two days to go from 3,821 entries to one winner, named Georgios Sotiropoulos. It’s now the third bracelet for the Greek: he won the $200 GGPoker Event #6: FLIP & Go No-Limit Hold’em earlier this year and a €1,100 No-Limit Hold’em in the WSOP Europe in 2015.

“I don’t really think about that,” said Sotiropoulos when asked about having established himself as one of the top no-limit hold’em players. “But it’s an amazing achievement. I really love the World Series of Poker, Las Vegas, the tournaments, the people here. Everything excites me. Makes me come again and again, playing more and winning more. Feeling grateful.”

Event #66: Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship (8-Handed)

Right after a big disappointement at the $50k PPC where he finished 6th for $161k, Josh Arieh just won a second bracelet this year by taking over the $10k championship! It’s the fourth bracelet for the player who is now 31st in the bracelet race.

Arieh had some analysis about the competition: “I noticed a lot of mistakes that I made, but I also noticed a lot of gameplay mistakes that they made. There was a point where they were letting me see flops when I shouldn’t see flops, they were gambling when they shouldn’t have been gambling. Just my experience in pot-limit really helped me figure out what I should be doing.”

“I always loved poker but I only started playing a couple years ago, mainly cash games, not really tournaments.”, Zhang said. “But the WSOP is always a very special occasion and I took some time off work because I really wanted to come here. This is the very one event I planned of playing. It’s an affordable event, plus a great cause, and I’m going on vacation to Morocco and Europe right after.”
