Lots of events have ended and we have four new winners!

#	Buy-in	Event	Player	Prize
18	$2,500	Event #18: Mixed Triple Draw Lowball  (Limit)	🇺🇸 Vladimir Peck	$134,390
19	$10,000	Event #19: Seven Card Stud Championship	🇺🇸 Anthony Zinno	$182,872

3	$400	Online Event #3: WSOP.com No-Limit Hold’em Ultra Deepstack	🇼🇸 Pete “PeteChen” Chen	$82,559

Event #18: Mixed Triple Draw Lowball  (Limit)

The $2,500 event attracted 253 players and Vladimir Peck got out with the bracelet and $134,390. Peck managed to survive in the tournament while having less than one big bet at multiple occasions.

The player declared after the tournament:

“This is fun and reminds me more of playing poker as a kid where it was essentially Dealer’s Choice. All these different random games, we just played a bunch of different games.”

Event #19: Seven Card Stud Championship

Anthony Zinno finally came on top of this very competitive final table and captured his third bracelet. The also three-time WPT champion recently crossed the $10M mark in total live earnings.

Zinno denied another chance for Phil Helmuth to win a 16th bracelet and later praised his game: “Hellmuth’s overall poker game is phenomenal. It’s so underrated by a lot of the poker community. They just don’t know what it’s like to sit and play, for example, short-handed mixed games with Hellmuth”.

Event #20: Flip & Go No Limit Hold’em

A first bracelet for Dejuante Alexander in this $1,000 event allows him to bring back home a nice $180,665 check. Alexander is a regular at the WSOP as he already cashed 55 times for $1,215,216. He notably got second in the 2017 millionaire maker for $754,499.

In this event he notably eliminated David Peters at 4 left when he called with KQ for almost all his stack against Peters’s KJ.

Online Event #3: WSOP.com No-Limit Hold’em Ultra Deepstack

Pete Chen took the win and defeated a field of 1,023 in this $400 online event for $82,559. Chen has a similar profile than event #20 winner DJ Alexander: a WSOP regular with 44 cashes since 2015 and a previous best performance of runner-up in 2017 for $382,122 in a $5,000 NL Hold’em event.

Here are the notables cashes in all these events:

🇵🇹 Joao Vieira	3rd	$57,558	18	$2,500 Event #18: Mixed Triple Draw Lowball  (Limit)

Bradley Jansen claimed his first gold bracelet in the $1,500 event. The self proclaimed semi-pro declared in the end: “When we got heads-up I just ran like the sun and I make a bunch of big hands.

Event #14: Seven Card Stud

A second bracelet for Rafael Lebron in the $1,500 event, which said “I was hoping (to win a second bracelet). Didn’t expect it so soon though”. He won his first in 2016 in a $3,000 NL Hold’em event for $169,337.

The WSOP super reg Shaun Deeb was close again from the very top but succumbed at the 5th place for $18,475.

After 50 cashes at the WSOP, top pro Jason Koon finally took down his first bracelet in this specialist event. Jason won 6 straight heads-up to get the trophy and the $243,981. Koon declared before the final: “I don’t vlog, I don’t stream, I just play the game”, and apparently this was enough!

Event #12: Limit Hold’em

Israel’s Yuval Bronshtein just won his second bracelet by beating a 422 players field. Bronshtein is well versed in all variants of the game as he won a 2-7 Lowball Draw event and unfortunately bubbled the $25k H.O.R.S.E event a few days ago.

Other events
