Event #43
The final 7 players in the $10,000 No Limit 2-7 Single Draw Event #43 have combined to make a stacked final table, with no less than 5 of the 7 players remaining already holding a WSOP bracelet. Layne Flack, Jeff Lisandro, David “Bakes” Baker, John Hennigan and Konstantin Puchkov are all looking to add another bracelet to their collection. Other notable names who also had the goal to pick up a bracelet, but are going to have to wait for another event were: David Williams, Johnny Chan, Phil Galfond, Phil Ivey and Calvin Anderson (11th for $19,283). The final 7 have the following stacks going into the last day:

The final table resumes at 14:00pst, and will be streamed on WSOP.com.
Event #44
The first day of the $3,000 No Limit Hold’em Event #44 saw 1072 players all vying to be the one to have their picture taken showing some winning cards and a new piece of gold jewellery. But, as we all know, you can’t win a tournament on Day1, and some of the players who found this out the hard way included Phil Hellmuth, Jason Somerville, Annette Obrestad, Nacho Barbero and Jake Cody, who all busted during the day.
Notables who did manage to survive the first day included Nick Abou Risk (8,750), Robert Romanello (9.750), David “Doc” Sands (16,000), David Vamplew (20,000), Randy “Nanonoko” Lew (28,300) and Joe Cada (58,900).
The big stacks heading into the second day of action are:
- Zohair Karim – 128,700
- Dan Kelly – 113,700
- Jeremy Menard – 78,200
- Darryl Ronconi – 77,000
- Sorel Mizzi – 67,000
- Tim Chung – 66,400
- Jonathan Duhamel – 65,700
- Lauren Kling – 65,200
- Jason Mercier – 65,100
- Dominik Nitsche – 65,000
The players will be back in their seats at 1pm, and they will be aiming to crack the bubble as 117 of the 229 players left will make a return on thier investment.
Player of the Year
With Daniel Negreanu taking a few days away from the Rio, it’s given the other players in the hunt for the Player of the Year a chance to overhaul his lead. Jared Humby has managed to jump into 3rd place with his win in Event #40, but nothing else has changed yet in the race for the title.
- Daniel Negreanu – 470.53
- Tom Schneider – 438.51
- Jared Humby – 368.73
