WSOP Day 33

Three bracelets were awarded on day 33 of the 2011 WSOP and there was plenty of action in other tournaments, as the Ladies event, the $50k players championship and the last $1k NLHE event were all in full swing.

Antonin Teisseire took down another event for the Euros as he won his first bracelet in Event #50: $5,000 Triple Chance No-Limit Hold'em for $825k. Another huge prizepool in a $5k so late in the WSOP is a great sign as the Main Event approaches. Frenchman Teisseire brings the French bracelet total this year to three.

Every 21 year old turning up at the Rio for the first time dreams of winning the first WSOP event they play. Unfortunately for me it was the Main Event, and it ended after 12 hours in a 4 bet shove with a draw getting snapped off by middle pair and the longest walk back to the bar in the Rio where I proceeded to drop at least another 20% of the value of the buy-in. David Singontiko however made the dream come true, as the 21 year old won the first ever WSOP he played, which just so happened to be Event #51: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo. Singontiko made his way through the 946 player field to take down the event and the WSOP bracelet some people play a lifetime to win.

Event #52: $2,500 Mixed Hold'em (Limit/No-Limit) saw Matt Matros win his second bracelet in two years. The professional from New York won just over $300k for his first place finish.
