Bob Geldolf doesn’t like Monday’s, and considering he didn’t have the World Series of poker to keep him entertained, that may have been reasonable. We on the other hand have more delayed final tables, and another two bracelets handed out to cover.
Event #27
I have a little bit of bad news for FTR fans, Max Steinberg hasn’t won his second bracelet. The honour of winning the 2013 WSOP Event #27 has gone to Isaac Hagerling, who beat Max heads up for the title and takes home $372,387 to go with the honour. A full report of the action will be coming up later today. The payouts from the quarter finals onwards were:
Max Steinberg
- Isaac Hagerling – $372,387
- Max Steinberg – $231,501
- Jeremy Ausmus – $132,748
- Jason Koon – $132,748
- Yevgeniy Timochenko – $51,561

Event #28
No Limit Hold’em has become the main focus of the WSOP in recent years, and Event #28 was another example of the $1,500 NLHE format. This one was won by Jason Duval for $521,202 and his first bracelet. A little later today we’ll be bringing you a full report of the final table action, but until then you’ll have to do with the final table payouts:

Event #29
Day 3 of the $5,000 H.O.R.S.E. was meant to be the last one, but thanks to the action running long, Day 4 is now scheduled to start on Tuesday at 2pm with four players left in. Players who didn’t find Day3 that fun include Marcel Luske (13th for $15,321), Konstantin Puchkov (8th for $30,876) and David Benyamine (7th for $40,039). The players returning tomorrow are:

The action from the unexpected Day 4 will kick off in the Amazon Room of the Rio at 2pm local time, and a winner will be crowned in short order.
Event #30
The second day of the $1,000 No Limit Hold’em Event #30 saw the action run 216 names into just 13. Players to fall by the wayside included Jonathan Aguiar (112th for $2,362), Randy “Nanonoko” Lew ($39th for $6,905), Antoine Saout (34th for $8,347).

Event #31
The $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/low Split 8 or Better Event #31 kicked off on Monday and attracted some big names. Phil Hellmuth, Scotty Nguyen, Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu all paid their money to take their chance, but none of these top flight pros made Day 2. Names to keep an on during Day 2 include Mike Matusow (25,900), Jason Mercier (37,100) and Barry Greenstein (53,300). The top ten stacks coming back for Day 2 are:
- Eric Rodawig – 154,800

- Yuval Bronshtien – 60,800
- Roland Isra – 56,000
The 129 players will be back in their seats at 1pm for Day 2, and will try and get near to a final table.
Player of the Year
Not much has really happened in the Player of the Year race in the past 24 hours apart from the emergence of Jason Duval in the top ten leader board after his win in Event # 28. Daniel Negreanu is still leading the race, but he is still very catchable as he’s not really heated up since he got back the Vegas.
- Daniel Negreanu – 446.53
- Daniel Kelly – 334.70
- Benny Chen – 300.00
- Mark Radoja – 292.50
- Matthew Ashton – 289.75
- Matthew Waxman – 274.50
- Charles Syvestre – 260.00
- Jason Duval – 256.25
- Corey Harrison – 254.50
- Daniel Marton – 252.00
Tuesday the 18th is going to be packed with final tables for Event #29 and Event #30, along with action from Events #31, #32 and #33.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on the action, and will be bringing you all the ups and downs.
