We’ve had to to wait late in the night to get a new champion!

Buy-in	Event	Prizepool
$10,000	Event #14: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship	$1,032,300

Event #14: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship

In a long lasting heads-up, Dan Shak resisted as well as he could, but he finally succumbed to Brian Yoon who won his fifth WSOP bracelet to get the top prize of $311,433. Five bracelets and $3,7M in earnings will put him at the 27th place on the overall bracelet leaderboard.

In the interview, Yoon said: “Honestly, I don’t try to bracelet hunt or anything like that, I’m just trying to play the tournaments and enjoy playing the games. It feels great, obviously, to be the 33rd to get number five, so I’ll take it and see what happens in the future.”

Chad Eveslage missed a good chance to get a third bracelet this year and finished 12th ($20k).

In progress

In Event #15: $1,500 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em, Sarah Herzali of France will return today with a large chip lead at 15 left. Multiple bracelet holders John Monnette (11th) and Upeshka De Silva (14th) will also have their chance to elevate their impressive track record. 2,454 entered the tournament and they will play for $465,501.

Event #16: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed has broke the record of most entries in a $25k with 301, building a pretty decent $7M prizepool and a $1,6M first place. Czech player Roman Hrabec is the current chip leader at 13 left, and a star studded line-up will stand up to him: Aleksejs Ponakovs (3rd), Joao Vieira (4th), Brian Rast (5th), Isaac Haxton (6th) and Kristen Foxen, who fell from the chip lead and is now 10th.

Good luck if you’re playing today, and see you soon!

Poker Analytics is the favorite poker tracking app of poker pros around the world. The app lets you log your results, precisely follow your bankroll, and give you all the statistics and graphs you want to become the poker player you want to be.

Here are the completed events of yesterday:

Buy-in	Event	Prizepool
$5,000	Event #12: $5,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed	$3,381,000
$600	Event #13: $600 Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack	$1,632,000

Event #12: $5,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed

The top 2 froze between the start and the end of the day, with Jeremy Eyer coming out on top for $649,550, seconded by Felipe Ramos ($401,460). Eyer captures his first WSOP bracelet after battling Ramos for three hours in the heads-up.

Eyer declared: “I’m just trying to improve each year. I’ve been playing a lot online, improving my game, and now I’m transitioning more into live mostly, and that’s helping my game a lot. And coming here, playing with the best players, and finishing first also helps.”

Event #13: $600 Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack

Event #13 makes history by being the largest Pot-Limit Omaha ever with its 3,200 entries. Joseph Altomonte is our winner for $217,102 and defeated Michael Holmes ($134,171).

“My ex said being a poker player wasn’t an acceptable occupation, so I quit for a very long time. It’s a dream come true, you don’t even understand.”, Altomonte said during the interview.

After nine years away from the live tables, Altomonte mostly doubled his total live earnings, and looks to take over the poker world with six top 3 finishes this year in a live setting.

In progress

Event #14: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship is now at 15 left. Max Hoffman is our current leader, followed by Ben Yu (3rd), David “Bakes” Baker (6th) and Chad Eveslage (11th), already in the tracks for a potential third bracelet this year! Dan Shak (13th) and Julien Martini (15th) will also have their shot.

Event #16: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed has started and registered 264 entries. Calvin Anderson leads the 93 remaining players. The event is full of top pros, and we notably find Freddy Deeb as the second, and Isaac Haxton in fourth. With late registration still open, there is a chance it could be the largest $25k buy-in event ever hosted at the World Series.

Kenneth O’Donnell is the winner of this deep event for $351,098, winning against Jefferson Guerrero in the heads-up in just three hands. The KT of Guerrero didn’t held against the J8 of O’Donnell who turned up into a beautiful full house.

It is by far the biggest performance of O’Donnell so far:

“It’s absurdly lucky,” O’Donnell told. “These giant field events are an exercise of just repeatedly getting lucky, and I did.”

“I’m very, very happy to have been the ‘Chosen One’ for the poker gods today. This feels really special. I just feel really blessed.”

In Progress

In Event #12: $5,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed, 16 remains. Jeremy Eyer leads the pack and is closely followed by Felipe Ramos (2nd). Josh Arieh (28th) and Kristen Foxen (30th) fell short and couldn’t make it to day 3.
