The final table included Jerry Wong and Alexey Makarov, who haven't won bracelets, although they both have a bunch of final tables until their belts, one of Wong's being the Main Event. The other six all have bracelets at home (actually Scott Bohlman's is probably in his hotel safe, as it's just a week since he won it). Ryan Hughes made his third final table of the Series.

Porter and Shack-Harris did well for their managers, but it was the relatively 'unknown' Loren Klein who whipped them all. Some players become favourites and others hardly register in the poker public's consciousness, despite big achievements. No-one picked Klein for their teams, but this is the third year in a row he has won a bracelet (only the third player post-boom to have done that), and he has had another two second places in his nine final tables. I predict that he is going to carry on winning bigly, winning more than anyone ever thought possible, for years to come.

What a result for Stephen!

Mixed-games specialists filled the first few places - in fact Kwon describes himself as a Razz specialist. I was hoping that Urbanovich would win, so I could say I have been called an idiot by a bracelet-winner. I have played against Colisea online many times but discovered last year that he doesn't appreciate my play. He came to the WSOP in 2016 with a big reputation from EPTs and COOPs, saying he was going to win three bracelets, and got sent home with his tail between his legs, both that year and in 2017. Now, at last he is justifying the expectation and I can finally look forward to being able to brag about being dissed by a champ.


Dzmitry: Hmmm......I'm too good for this tournament.

Top of the table after 50 (without 6, 11 & 48) - the gap closes further, but the race for second, third, etc is incredibly tight.

The Monster Stack has finally finished. We are never going to score many points in these mass events, but IrishTom scored twice as many as any other selector. Congrats go to APAT Main Event runner-up Jonathan Walker.

Fifth-placed Daniel Corbett has had an impressive couple of years, winning a GUKPT Main Event and a 25/25, as well as coming 10th in the Goliath and 3rd in a 1,000-runner Rio Daily Deepstack. Still waiting for his first APAT cash, though.
