Event #10: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship
An exhausted Scott Seiver finally got over the line to claim his fifth WSOP bracelet in the Omaha Hi/Lo championship event.
The American found himself at a tough final table with Benny Glaser and Jared Bleznick pushing him hard but eventually the victory came.
With the high buy-in, only 197 players registered to play but it was a super strong field that created a prize pool of $1,832,100.
Seiver’s payout of $426,744 was likely not even on his radar as he chased that next bracelet.
“This was exhausting. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was one of if not the longest non-Main Event tournament there has been. I feel great now that I’ve won.”
“This bracelet actually means a lot to me. Everyone plays a tournament, they always want to win. But I came into this summer with a real desire to try and win as many bracelets as I can.”

Event #11: $1,500 Badugi
David Prociak from the USA is another player to claim his second WSOP bracelet in the series this year.
He defeated a total of 478 entrants to bag a $129,676 prize after putting on a display when he had almost all of the chips at the four-handed stage.
Event #12: $1,500 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em
17 players remain in the hunt in the $1,500 6-Max, all eyeing up the $439,815 first-place prize.
Spaniard Daniel Palau leads the way with 68bb with a microscopic edge over Chih Fan from Taiwan.
Day 3 will commence later but there will be one player rueing his chances after committing an almighty blunder.
Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Yan Shing ‘Anson’ Tsang overslept and missed the start of his event, losing 97% of his stack as he blinded out.
Tsang said he set three alarms but still didn’t wake up, arriving at the playing hall over two hours late to find only half a big blind left in his stack.
Event #13: $10,000 Dealer’s Choice Championship
Robert Mizrachi is the man in charge of Event #13: $10,000 Dealer’s Choice Championship right now.
The four-time bracelet winner leads the way but there are some big names in hot pursuit.
Ben Lamb, Phil Ivey, and Daniel Negreanu are all in running with 11 players remaining. The Canadian will no doubt have been delighted to be the one to send Phil Hellmuth to the rail.
Event #14: $1,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em
France’s Thibault Perissat won a well-supported Event #14: $1,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em.
Not everyone is a fan of the extremely fast structures but this tournament still attracted 2,639 entrants with a prize pool of $2,322,320 and all played out over a single day.
Perissat banked $197,308 for his efforts, beating American Ron Schindelheim into second place.
Event #15: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
192 players remain out of 1,277 entrants, slightly beating last year’s field of 1,125. Hollywood star James Woods ran deep but ultimately ended up being the bubble boy.
All players coming back for Day 2 tonight are guaranteed a prize.
Event #16: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold’em
Bin Weng is in pole position as Event #16: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold’em heads into a second day of play.
The American is having an incredible run in live tournaments right now and one of the game’s hot properties. He has to be one of the favourites to take this tournament down after banking $6.8 million since the start of last year.
