Bracelet-Heavy Day at the WSOP
Four more pieces of the coveted jewelry were given out since yesterday's update on the blog.
As the annual poker tournament series is turning into its second week in Vegas, the number of bracelets awarded is up to 11 by now.
Abe Mosseri wins $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo
In the 4-hole card game where the high hand wins half pot and the low hand takes the other half, Mosseri beat Daniel Negreanu heads-up for the title. This means that Negreanu, who is ahead of every poker player in the all-time live earnings list with his $33.6 million still has not won any bracelets yet this year, even though he has come close for the second time - his team finished 3rd in the $10K tag Team Championship. Negreanu's 3-bracelet prop bet seems to be in bad shape now; he's also behind the WSOP Player of the Year scoreboard - currently lead by Australian James Obst - the title he repeatedly expressed the desire to win.
Thomas Pomponio takes home the $1,000,000 first prize at COLOSSUS III
This was one of the lowest buy-in live NLHE events at the WSOP, this is why the field swelled up to over 18,000 players at the start - declaring the winner took 6 days, and it turned out to be New Jersey man Thomas Pomponio. The large number of entries gave the event a huge prize pool despite the low buy-in, Pomponio pocketed $1,000,000 for his victory.
David Bach wins $1,500 Dealer's Choice Tournament
This is one of the strangest tournaments at the WSOP: in addition to the regular dealer button, a "dealer's choice" button also rotates around the table, and whichever player gets it gets to decide which one of the 16 types of poker games is going to played the next hand. Bach beat his last remaining opponent, Kevin Iacofano in an Omaha Hi-Lo hand, which earned him a golden bracelet and $119,399.
Nipun Java-Aditya Sushant team triumphs at the $1K Tag Team Tournament
Java's original partner was unable to wake up in time, that's how he got teamed up with Sushant - it is fair to say that it still turned out okay for him, as the new duo became the first Indian-born players to win a WSOP bracelet and got paid over $150,000 for their efforts to get out of bed early enough.
