Event #48: SHOOTOUT No-Limit Hold’em<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gershon Distenfeld<\/strong> has won his first bracelet in the $1,500 Shootout event and $204k, which Distenfeld pledged to donate various charities, as he did last year<\/a> when he finished 8th in the $10k WSOP.com No-Limit Hold’em Main Event<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distenfeld tries to inspire more players to do so: “I’d love to offer a challenge to every bracelet winner to give away 1% of their money to the charity of their choice. There’s no lack of needs out there. If I could have a lasting impact in the poker community, it would be that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event #49: No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Farzad Bonyadi<\/strong> probably smelled something when he decided to play his first tournament this year and enter event #49. The player could not hope for better as he’s now joining the closed club of 4-times bracelet winners, now at the 43rd place in the WSOP bracelet rankings! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonyadi after the win: “We used to play this game 20 years ago and there was no drawing to the ten or jack. Like any other game, the young blood is changing this game too. I kinda like it. I used to play the same way 20 years ago. You can say I’m an action player. I’m definitely not tight. Maybe they think I’m old and that I can’t play [aggressively]. I’m very satisfied with the way I played.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His previous success was 16 years ago when he won a $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em<\/a> for $594k. The Iranian born player now has more than $4,5M in live earnings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event #50: Mixed No-Limit Hold’em\/Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack 8-Handed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recreational Chicago player Darrin Wright<\/strong> punched his way to victory to win the $600 tournament yesterday and win $127k. Wright only live cash until then was a 20th place for $503 two years ago on the WSOP circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I just felt it. You know how sometimes you can feel something and you can feel it in your stomach, they say that’s your gut. I felt it in my gut,” Wright said, adding: “I was crashing them. If you had seen me, it was like, I knocked out so many players.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event #51: 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Poker legend Brian Rast<\/a> won his 5th bracelet in the $3,000 event! He now sits 19th in the WSOP rankings and is 26th in the all time live earnings list with more than $21M. Brian last bracelet was in 2018 when he won the Event #23: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rast had words about how he sees himself in the poker hall of fame: “I turn 40 in a couple weeks and it was on my mind to make the Poker Hall of Fame. I think I have a pretty good claim. I’ve played the biggest cash games in the world for over a decade and I’ve done a lot in tournaments as well. I just don’t think there are too many people. I wanted to come back here this year to the WSOP and show myself that I can still play great poker and be around and enjoy it and hopefully add more.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things will probably calm down for a few days as only two events are currently underway: the $1,000 SENIORS No-Limit Hold’em Championship<\/strong> and the $25k High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed)<\/strong>. See you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
