World Series Of Poker Recap: Mike Ellis Wins No-Limit Event
With each passing day, the focus of the World Series of Poker becomes more about the main event and less about all of the lead-up events. On Saturday, however, two players walked away from the Rio with bracelets and wads of cash.
Konstantin Puchkov became the first Russian bracelet winner this year when he outplayed Al Barbieri in Event #31, a H.O.R.S.E tournament. Puchnov, from Moscow, won not only the gold bracelet, but also $256,820. Barbieri took home $158,647 for his second place finish.
Event #28, a Pot-Limit Omaha tourney came to a conclusion Saturday as well, and it was Miguel Proulx from Canada that topped the field of 596 players. The buy-in for the event was $2,500, and Proulx made a nice return on his investment when he collected $315,311 for his win. Loren Klein finished in second place and won $195,147.
Another tournament that ended Saturday was Event #30, a No-Limit Hold'em event. Mike Ellis became the fourth bracelet winner from the UK when he defeated Christopher Gonzales heads-up. Along with making it on to the champions list at the WSOP, Ellis won $581,851.
Six tournaments are ongoing with the featured event being #35, a World Championship Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em tournament with some of the biggest name in the game involved. Vanessa Rousso, who has become one of the top heads-up players in the world, is one of the final sixteen players.
Gavin Smith, Bertrand Grospellier, and Phil Gordon are all still alive as well. David Williams and Antonio Esfandiari are among the sixteen players that were eliminated in the last round. The tournament is scheduled to conclude on Sunday.
