Unfortunately our favorite pros couldn’t find the way to the podium in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, however Phillip Hui knew how to find it to take the win in the world class event. The Texan player is no stranger to the game as his first Hendon Mob line was signed in 2009, and won a first bracelet in 2014’s $3,000 Omaha Hi/Lo. Phillip is now 4th in the earnings leaderboard of this edition with no less than 9 cashes!

In Event #59: $600 No-Limit Hold’em DEEPSTACK CHAMPIONSHIP, Joe Foresman took the win and signed his first official live cash ever! A sick first for the recreational player living in Las Vegas.

Event #60: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo 8 or Better had lots of known names when starting the final table, and one of them, the famous Anthony Zinno, made it happen. The three-time WPT champion, now owner of two bracelets, enters the top 100 all time money list with $8,856,576 in live earning.

Event #62: $10,000 Razz stopped during the night when reaching the heads-up, where Scott Seiver will try to win his third bracelet today. He’s back from having less than 5% of chips when three-handed, when Chris Ferguson (3rd, $131,194) still had a chance. He’s now currently in the lead with 57% of the chips against Andrey Zhigalov.

The atypical Tag Team Event #57 is still running with 48 players left. In this tournament you can set up teams of 2 to 4 players. The fun comes from the fact that players may tag a teammate anytime he/she is not in an active hand.

Also, the famous $50,000 Poker Players Championship Event #58 has 2/3 of its field remaining. Notables who lost, not in particular order: Stephen Chidwick, Matt Glantz, Scott Seiver, Michael Mizrachi, Julien Martini, Gus Hansen and Daniel Negreanu.

That’s all to digest for today, come back tomorrow for another course!
