Phil Hellmuth missed his chance of 16th bracelet and finished 6th for $95,329.

Event #2: H.O.R.S.E.

The huge $25,000 event #2 has reached the final table. As usual with this kind of buy-in, lots of big names have entered the tournament. Nearly reaching the final table but still cashing are Daniel Negreanu (11th, $46,002) and Cary Catz (13th, $42,162).

The biggest name in this final table is of course Phil Hellmuth himself, already having a chance to get a 16th bracelet. He’ll start the final table with the 5th stack of a table lead by Benny Glaser. Also in the race for the $552,182 top prize are David Benyamine (4th) and Matt Glantz (8th).

Event #3: Covid-19 Relief No-Limit Hold’em Charity Event

Jeremy Ausmus just grabbed his second WSOP bracelet in this third event. If you don’t know him, this win is no surprise as Jeremy has 165 lines on his Hendon Mob page since 2008 and his lifetime earnings now well exceed the $8 million mark. Jeremy bested this 230 players turbo charity event to add a new $48,681 line to his profile.
