Event #69: Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Mixed game grinder Jermaine Reid became the winner of the $1,500 event late in the night and pocketed $113,459. Until then, the player did not have 5 figures despite having a few dozens cashes on his profile so this win is a pretty big deal for the player.

“It means a lot. It is something I set out to do this year,” Reid told after winning. “I really didn’t think I would accomplish it. It was just a stretch goal. So I’m very, very surprised I actually got it. It feels amazing. The money is irrelevant. The bracelet is everything.”

Jermaine managed to beat a high level final table and denied several bracelet holders from the win, including John Monnette (4th), Carol Fuchs (6th) and John Racener (8th).

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

We lost more than two thirds of the field yesterday as we went from 1,000 players to now 292. All the remaining players will now win $33,900 or more.

In the lead is the Spanish Ramon Colillas with 5M chips. Ramon is the winner of the $25k PSPC PokerStars Players Championship where he won a cute $5,1M. The only way to beat this exceptional score for him is by winning the tournament this year.

Chance with the big stack

Now cruising in the tournament is Stephen Chidwick with the 4th stack and 4,3M. Also worth noting are Chance Kornuth (18th, 2,7M), Jason Koon (95th, 1,3M), 2016 Main Event winner Qui Nguyen (110th, 1,1M), Nick Petrangelo (137th, 966k), Chris Moneymaker (232nd, 621k), Matt Berkey (237th, 621k) and Marle Spragg (282nd, 302k).

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:

Jessica Cai will return for day 4 today with the chip lead and a stack close to 1,8M. Chris Moneymaker briefly took the chip lead today and still maintained one of the most healthy stack with 1,4M, currently sitting in 9th place.

Event #60: Poker Players Championship 6-Handed

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! Daniel is better known for his high stakes cash game apperances but he still have $9M in total live earnings, his best performance being finishing runner-up in the EPT €100,000 Super High Roller at Monte Carlo in 2014.

Here he defeated Ryan Leng ($589k) heads-up, Paul Volpe made 3rd for $404k and Eli Elezra 4th for $286k.

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.”
