Foster Hays takes down Event #18: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em and a whoping $735k in prize money for making his way through the 3,157 strong field. Hays is a medical researcher and was evedently back at work the day after his win.
Jason Somerville took down Event #20: $1,000 No-Limit Holdem winning $493k and his first WSOP bracelet. Another huge field in this one as 3,175 turned out to play. Jason is a well known and liked pro and the win adds to his already impressive $2.7m in tournament earnings.
...and I'm absolutely cleaning up in my 'pick a player to win his first WSOP bracelets' pool as Bertrand Grospellier, more easily pronounced as ElkY, takes down Event #21: $10,000 Seven-Card Stud, his fist bracelet and just over $330k. Grospellier also becomes only the fourth player in history to complete the triple crown of winning a WPT, WSOP and EPT event after Jake Cody completed the feat earlier this WSOP. PokerStars blog entry on the achievement.
In other news Darren Woods won Event #19: $2,500 Limit Hold'em Six Handed and $213k to spend after he's finished looking at his shiney new bracelet. Kim Nguyen came close to becoming the WSOP's latest female bracelet winner but came just short, busting in second place.
