Allen Bari somewhat inevitably took down Event #4: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em with his epic chip lead going into the final day with 4 left. Maria Ho put up a valiant fight heads up but Bari emerged the victor, earning $874k in addiiton to the coveted bracelet. Nice round up of the event from Jess Welman over at Bluff.
Event #7: $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship concluded with Amir Lehavot taking down a bracelet and $563k for his efforts. Nicolas Levi also made the final table adding a 6th place finish to his 5th place in the WSOPE main event in London last year. If anything players in these event deserve at least a medal for playing 10 handed PLHE for as long as they did...
...but not as much as those making the final table of the even more painful Event #6: $1,500 Limit Hold'em - Harrison Wilder took down the bracelet and just over $200k for first. Scott Clements was among those that made the final table, eventually busting in a tilt-worthy 9th place.
The WSOP isn't all serious business of course, Wicked Chops have a superb 'Girls on the rail' post that is well worth a look. Great work!
