Benny sometimes seems to have an untouchable quality, as he frequently runs up a huge stack. He used to convert that into a win quite easily, though the ability to close seemed to have deserted him, and it was five years since his last bracelet, despite numerous finals and top three finishes. In this Series, he has clocked up 2nd, 3rd and 9th places, which were disappointments, as he had big leads in them all. Now he has done it, and collected his 4th bracelet.
The points are starting to flow now. Can Jo hold Stephen off?



Glaser's heads-up opponent, Everett Carlton, was taking Covid seriously.

11th place in the $10k Razz went to Shirley Rosario.
Shirley's other pastime is rollerball, so would you prefer a shot of her with the poker players or the rollerballers?
Don't answer. Here's the photo. Shirley is centre, looking back.

There was a time when Schemion used to get quite a few picks from our selectors, but those days are long gone, as he never repaid them. Well here he is now, and no-one has picked him.

Vieira seems to be on every results list. He cashed in five of the nine tournaments from #71 to #79 - unfortunately they were all quite lowly results, so all that effort generated a total of just five points.

It was Brit against Brit as the Robert Cowen from Swansea and Robert Emmerson from Middlesborough went head to head. Cowen had come straight from finishing 39th in the Main Event, his third cash in that tournament, while Emmerson is an online pro with hardly any live cashes, his only four-figure score being £2,600 for coming 47th at DTD.

Uri Reichenstein kicked up a storming end to the Series with two six-digit results for 4th in #76 and 3rd in this - so close to winning two bracelets in short order.

I'm not going to go deep into the Main here. A lot has been said elsewhere. There were a couple of odd hands that fell into the winner's lap, one being when Alejandro Lococo, sitting in second place, donated his entire stack to the leader and the other being the final hand, which George Holmes played very strangely. The heads-up between Aldemir and Holmes divided watchers into those who wanted a 'proper' poker pro to win, no matter how boring, and those who fancied a rec taking it down for the story that would result and the effect that might have on the poker masses and the general population. The pro won so, despite winning the rec winning $4.3m, there isn't a story.
