It was the first Big O event of the World Series and the event got 1,458 entries for a $1,9M prizepool. Scott Abrams is our winner, bagging $315,203 by defeating Robert Williamson III. Johnny Chan couln’t make it beyond 14th, passing a good chance to win his 11th bracelet.
“I’ve done a lot of work in Limit O/E,” Abrams said. “Big O is that but extrapolating strong hands on both sides. If I see a good O8 hand, but my opponent wants to bet a lot, I lean towards fold most of the time, and I’ll just make nut-nut the next hand.”
They were 3,773 entries is this $800 event, crushing last year’s attendance of 2,812. It made up for a $339,033 top prize that finally went to China’s Qiang Xu in just two days. 2021 Main Event winner Koray Aldemir made a deep run but finally lost in 12th place.
“It’s a dream coming true,” said Xu a few minutes after his victory. “My goal coming from China was to win a bracelet, and now, I’ve got it!”
“I tried to use my stack to pressure at this point,” he added. “Then I changed my strategy a bit to be more stable. That’s what I did at the final table when my stack decreased. Afterward, I tried not to hurry up and to find the right moment to catch up.”

I’ve always felt comfortable in live poker. I’ve worked on my fundamentals a little bit more by playing online”.
