In a final table filled with high-stakes players and bracelet winners, Eric Brooks ($0 in tournament cashes) beats Fu Wong ($110,000 in tournament cashes) in the $10,000 7 Card Stud World Championship. Alexander Kostritsyn, who at one point had a 1,000,000 chip lead over his nearest competitor, finished in 3rd. High stakes regulars Minh Ly and David Oppenheim finished in 4th and 8th respectively. 8-time bracelet winner Erik Seidel finishes in 5th.
The Women\’s $1,000 NL Holdem event is down to their final 12. Svetlana Gromenkova, seen here in a happy moment, is the overwhelming chip leader. Three more eliminations and they return for their ESPN360 final table.
In the $2,000 Omaha 8 event, they just reached the money, with Men \”The Master\” Nguyen the unfortunate bubble boy.
The $1,500 NL Shootout finally completed their first round after over 7 hours of play. They\’re currently playing to reach their final 10 for tomorrow.
The $5,000 NL 2-7 KC Lowball w/rebuys event drew a field of 85, with 272 rebuys to create a prize pool of over $1,700,000. 14 spots will get paid, Todd Brunson is current chip leader, Shawn Sheikhan is 2nd, and many notables still remain.
More exciting stuff from me tomorrow…
