Phil Ivey has positioned himself to become an 11-time WSOP bracelet winner. On the other hand, fellow legend Daniel Negreanu has reached another Day 2.
For the first time, Stephen Winters became a WSOP champion after coming out on top in Event #20: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-Limit Hold’em. Winters left an incredible turnout of 20,467 entrants in his wake. He turned his $300 investment into a cool $401,210.
On Event #26: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em crowned its champion–Nick Schulman. He had previously won four WSOP bracelet. Each of this in a mixed game discipline, but now he has five and one in Hold’em. This is a way to get the Hold’em monkey off his back because Schulman raked in $1,667,842. So far, this is his largest WSOP cash and his second-largest result.
On Day 15, the third bracelet was awarded. It went to Michael Christ. He will forever be known as the champion of Event #27: $1,500 Big O. Christ admitted to pushing his luck throughout the tournament, more specifically on the final day. However, he was probably playing down his impressive result. He banked $306,884 for this victory.
One of the toughest fields ever assembled has been whittled down to just 13 players. However, Event #29: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship remains stacked from top to bottom. Eight of the players through to the final day’s action have bracelets, five have multiple bracelets, seven are $25K Fantasy Draft picks, one is a Poker Hall of Famer, and the reigning champion is still in!
