<< < (50/68) > >>

PokerPax:
I have given up for this year, unless some miracle happens and the one or two unique players I have, manage to snag a few bracelets between them!

I have however, picked my team for next year, can this year hurry up and finish so we can get it started!?  ;D

The success of the Le family continues. Tommy got the bracelet he undoubtedly deserves on his sixth PLO final table, having reached three last year (2nd, 3rd and 5th) and two previously. His brothers Allan and Nam have both already reached WSOP final tables this year, with Allan finishing third. They have all won millions - Nam has banked $7m so far and this win takes Tommy to $3m, just ahead of Allan. As Allan won a bracelet last year, Nam is now the only one without one (his best is third), but he can console himself with his WPT title. They are also connected with Tuan Le, the first player to retain a non-Main $10k title, but I'm not sure what the relationship is.

This event was loaded, with four players who have almost won the Main Event, Scott Clements, Eoghan O'Dea, Ben Lamb and John Racener, finishing near the top.

Last year's winner of the Millionaire-Maker, millionaire Jason DeWitt, was fifth. Jason is not related to Doug DeWitt, who lost his World title to Nigel Benn.

Howard Millian was twelfth in this - I so hope he wins the Millionaire-Maker next time.


Doug DeWitt (bottom) - no relation

Yet another winner tells us that he's not very good at the event he just took down, although he plays HORSE all the time. Tsong Lin started heads-up with 2.1m out of 2.2m chips, but couldn't put Koral away.


Koral and Lin developed a close personal relationship while playing heads-up

Five days after I predict a future bracelet for Pete Chen, he almost goes and does it, finishing second in this.

Korn wins for Argentina.

A few players are building up an impressive collection of results. Second-placed Jameson Painter already had a 4th this year in Stud Hi-Lo, while third-placed Jared Bleznick had two 5th places, both in 2-7. Barry Greenstein was seventh, for his tenth cash, but his first final table.
