Some words from the winner: “It’s an absolute dream come true,” Eisenberg said about her victory. “I came into this event hoping that maybe sometime I would make a final table, and to walk away winning it is an indescribable feeling. The event has been really amazing. It was so much fun. There was a lot of joking around and everyone was really supportive. It was all around just a fabulous event.”

Event #26: Freezeout No-Limit Holdem

After making his first WSOP cash in the $500 event #4, Dalibor Dula made it all the way to grab the $1,000 event #26 bracelet.

Event #17: MILLIONAIRE MAKER No-Limit Hold’em

Daniel Lazrus held his ground firmly yesterday to capture this huge trophy and the $1M prize. The tournament total prizepool was $7M and 5,326 took the start.

Lazrus showed it’s still possible to “quickly” get successful in poker: “I only started playing about four and half years ago, at first just recreationally,” he said. “I started winning, met the right guy, who put me in touch with the other right guys, just learned. Starting like two years ago I started raising stakes and studying very very aggressively almost as a priority.”

Event #22: LADIES No-Limit Hold’em Championship

In the ladies event the final five has been set: Mikiyo Aoki still stands strong with the chip lead, closely followed by Debora Brooke. Women’s Poker Hall of Famer JJ Liu has the smallest stack but still has a chance to fight for the top $115K prize.

Famous streamer unfortunately Marle Cordeiro took a 7th place for $14K but was in a good mood nonetheless after the loss:

Is there any more tilting experience then the cash out at WSOP? Fuck me running.

Ryan Leng is now a 3 times bracelet holder but stayed humbled: “I definitely think the final table, the final two tables, I was certainly nowhere near the best player left in the field. I ran really hot.”

Event #24: Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack (8-Handed)

Michael Prendergast made his biggest ever tournament score for $127K in a 1,572 players field. The recreational player said afterwards: “I don’t pay a lot of tournaments.
