Mourad Amokrane is a French optician who played this because he failed to satellite into the Main. Matt Mamiya, an architectural designer from Seattle, had an opportunity for a glorious comeback, starting heads-up with 350,000 chips against Amokrane's 21,150,000, ie a 60-1 deficit. He failed to give us a dramatic story, however, losing the rest in the first hand.

Motoyoshi Okamura had no previous recorded live cashes, apart from a small score in the Colossus, so it seemed a bit odd to see that he had taken on the killers in the Aria High Rollers last week and came 2nd and 4th, beating the likes of Chidwick, Sam Soverel, Alex Foxen, Eelis Pärssinen and Juan Pardo Dominguez. It turns out that Okamura is none other than falcon8808, WPT Online title-winner.

Main Event finalist Jerry Wong had to be satisfied with being a November Tenner this time, falling just before the final table.

David Moses isn't your typical amateur player. He is a big winner on Global Poker with a huge ROI. Yet he is playing on a site that he claims is severely rigged, but he knows the rigs and has posted them repeatedly on forums. Probably the worst one is that losing players will lose more slowly on that site, resulting in an increased amount of their loss going in rake, which should be going to winning players.

There are quite a few in-game rigs - one interesting one is to fold KK pre if it's within three hands before or after a break as AA is nearly always there. He also says to avoid playing there on Sunday as that's when they feed the fish. I've no idea whether what he says is true - he plays as rUeTaMa (spell it backwards), so you can check him out if you want.

Runner-up Sejin Park has the knack against big fields. In 2019 he beat a field of over 13,000 to win The Colossus, so getting to heads-up from a field of over 5,200 is nothing to him, but he couldn't close it out this time.

And what an achievement by Leonid Yanovski, who was 4th in #72 and 5th in this, despite them both starting on the same day. Leonid finished his business on the final day of #72 at 5.30pm, and jumped into the third Day 1 of this, which had begun at noon, and ended the day with the 4th largest stack of 100 survivors from the day's 2,241 entrants.

David (rUeTaMa) Moses became known as 'The Global Grinch' due to his unhappiness with the site, and then adopted the persona.

Brian Hastings has done nothing this Series - just a couple of small cashes. And then, Kazaam!, another bracelet. Like him or not, and a lot don't, he's got the goods when it comes to poker, and he joins the ever-expanding five-bracelet club by beating one of the strongest fields imaginable.Top points for Karen.
