Here are the latest results at the world series:

Event #36: Dealers Choice 6-Handed Championship

What an end to this championship event! The day started with Adam Friedman, second in chips, looking to win the championship for the third time in a row and Phil Hellmuth (5th), looking for his 17th bracelet and the second this year.

The two biggest stories at 10 left finally somehow collided in heads-up, with Hellmuth having at one point a 2-to-1 chip advantage, but Friedman succeeded in grinding back Hellmuth’s stack and finally ended up with all the chips.

Here are some words from the winner: “It’s really amazing. I didn’t expect this. I just wanted to have a shot to be able to do something that no one else has done in the 53-year history of the World Series and to do it in this event is pretty fantastic. Once people play the dealer’s choice, they always keep coming back.”

Here are the other notable results of the event:

Event #37: Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em (freezeout)

Lituanian Karolis Sereika was crowned the winner of $1,500 event, which counted 1,441 entries. Karolis Sereika impressively eliminated all but one player to win his first bracelet. The player only had 5 WSOP cashes until then so that’s a pretty big win for the player.

Sereika said in the interview: “This is the first live Lithuanian WSOP bracelet so that means a lot to me and all Lithuanian players, I’m very happy and very excited. Just so many emotions, I really wanted it with all my heart.”

Event #38: High Roller No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed

In the huge $50k, Michael Addamo kept the lead in day 2 and now only 5 remains. Addamo has nearly half the chips and will return today to face Justin Bonomo (2nd) and Erik Seidel (3rd) to try to win his 3rd bracelet and extend his crazy $5M+ in live earnings since September. The players will play for $1.1M, the biggest prize awarded since the start the series.

We wish you all the best at the tables!

What can we say? The poker brat never ceases to entertain the WSOP this year:

Event #31: No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw

He finally did it! Starting second in chips at 10 left, Phil Hellmuth made it happen to reach his 16th bracelet, making him even harder to reach in the bracelet race.

“I’ve wanted a deuce-to-seven bracelet ever since the 1980’s because it was the coolest bracelet to win. It’s the one tournament that Chip, Doyle, and all the big named poker players showed up for.”

Phil tried to explain what happened the other days: “I’ve studied these games my whole life, so I have all the knowledge. What’s been killing me is that I get tired and I blow it. Or I get tilted and I blow it. I’ll be down here at the Rio and it’s one in the morning and I’m so tired. And I just play a bunch of bad hands and I’m out.”

Here are the other results of the tournaments:

That’s not all!

In the $1,500 event #30: MONSTER STACK No-Limit Hold’em, Ryan Leng, winner of event #23 is in the chip lead. 2,342 players entered the tournament and the 148 remaining will battle for a nice $610k payday.

20 players are still trying to take the win in the $3,000 Event #32: H.O.R.S.E., featuring Eli Elezra (2nd), Maria Ho (11th) and Daniel Negreanu (14th). 282 players entered the tournaments and $173k is up for the top prize.

Let’s have a look at the updated most cashes list:

What a day! We hope the WSOP will continue this exciting run!

Event #28: Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed

As shown in the picture, Chance Kornuth now holds 3 bracelets. He had to battle against the toughest competition in this $10k event: Dan Shak ($11M live earnings) finished 3rd for $82k, Joao Vieira (5th) grabbed $42k.

Chance previous bracelets were the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha in 2010 and three years ago the $3,200 WSOP.com ONLINE No-Limit Hold’em High Roller. After the win Chance declared: “I am playing some of my best poker for the last six months and I really want to continue to do so and see what I can accomplish”.

Event #31: No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw

The $1,500 is not finished yet but as always with less played variants of the game many known names remains! And who’s about to make another final? Yes you guessed right, he’s going for his fourth this year, it’s Phil Hellmuth, currently second in chips at 10 remaining. But the competition is fierce as he’ll be joined by Dario Sammartino (3rd) and Ryan Riess (10th).
