Other events in progress
The massive $500 event #4: The Reunion No-Limit Hold’em and its 12,973 entries enters its final stage as 9 players remain. Poker pro Ryan Laplante closely missed this golden $513,604 opportunity and ended up at the 19th place for $18,117.
In the $1,500 event #7: Dealers Choice 6-Handed only 14 remain, and unfortunately many big names did not make the cut in the latest stage, including legendary WSOP commentator Norman Chad (21st), Eli Elezra (20th) and Phil Hellmuth (18th).
More events are currently underway including the $10k event #9: Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship where David Benyamine currently leads. Jason Somerville’s fans will also be happy to hear that Jason has entered the tournament.
