Event #46: No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack
The 2,053 entries $800 tournament ended with an unexpected win for Chad Norton, casually booking a win for his first ever WSOP participation.
Norton told the media: “To be honest I’ve only played in one WPT event and this was my first ever live WSOP tournament. I play mostly online but I came in on such a down swing so to be able to come in and win my first ever WSOP tournament feels amazing.”
Event #43: DOUBLE STACK No-Limit Hold’em
The third largest event this year with 3,991 entries now counts 17 players. The $1,000 event has gathered a prizepool of $3,5M and the top prize is $446K. Michael Wang ($3M in live earnings), holder of one bracelet, will return with the chip lead and poker commentator Jeff Platt, currently 9th in chips, will try to win his first bracelet.
Event #45: Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed Championship
There are now 5 players left in the tournament, lead by Tommy Le, winner of the event in 2017 for $900K. Day 3 chip leader Jonathan Witz failed to qualify and ended twelfth. Our most familiar names also all fell yesterday: Mike Matusow (17th), Daniel Zack (13th) and Eli Elezra (6th – $124K) will not be able to grab the $746,477 prize.
We will return to see how all these events unfold today!
