Event #83: $1,500 Short Deck No-Limit Hold’em
They were 363 at the start for one of the smallest events of the year. Starting the final day with the third stack, Thai Ha found the path for the $111,170 win. He defeated David Prociak ($68k) in the heads-up, Ryan Laplante ($21k) ending in 5th place. It’s the first live cash at the WSOP, but Thai Ha has a strong $2,5M in total live earnings, including a second place for $511k in the 2019 €25,500 Short Deck event at the WSOP Europe.
Some words from the winner: “It feels great. Short Deck is one of the games I play the most and I got second twice already so this time it definitely feels great not to get second again. I feel like Short Deck is my strongest game.”
Day 7 ended and we’re down to only 15 players, but the winner won’t be crowned before another four days.
Juan Maceiras from Spain has the current best spot with a 108M stack and nearly 18% of the remaining chips. Following him is Adam Walton from California with 75M (12%) in chips.
Our most famous name in Alec Torelli has survived day 7 but has one of the shortest stack (13M, 2%).
Yesterday had lots of action, especially free breathing lessons given at the featured table:
