Event #15: $1,500 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em

Rafael Reis started with the second chip stack and ended up securing the win for $465,501. Day 2 chip leader and French poker pro Sarah Herzali ended up 3rd ($207k), while John Monnette climbed up the ladder and came close from a fifth bracelet but ended up 5th ($111k).

“I am feeling like I had a mission, and I accomplished my mission,” Reis said in his post-win interview. “Last time that I was here, I was at the final table, and I got third. This time I felt super comfortable.”

Event #16: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em 8-Handed

Isaac Haxton is our winner for the current biggest prize of these World Series for close to $1,7M. The biggest $25k of the WSOP history finally offered the first bracelet of the high stakes legend Haxton, who’s having an amazing year: Six wins on the high roller circuit, three results for more than $1M for a total of nearly $7M in earnings. Haxton is 14th on the total live earnings rankings, and said he wasn’t especially chasing the top spot:

“No, not really,” he laughed. “I don’t really look at that stuff. I just really like playing poker and making money at it.”

Here are the payouts of the final table:

1st	Isaac Haxton	United States	$1,698,215
2nd	Ryan O’Donnell	United Kingdom	$1,049,577
3rd	Darren Elias	United States	$725,790

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.”

Here are the completed events of yesterday:

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.

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.”
