WSOP Day 18

A busy day for bracelets at the WSOP on Day 18 as 3 events reached their conclusion. The seniors event also go off to a start today and a whopping 3,752 players turned out to play the $1k NLHE tournament.

Chris Viox won Event #25: $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo after defeating Mike Sexton heads up for the bracelet and $200k.

Event #26: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed saw another Brit come close as Chris Moorman made a deep run, eventually busting in 3rd place. The event was won by the highly pronounceable Oleksil Kovalchuk who took home $689k and a WSOP bracelet for his efforts.

I'm a huge fan of the 2+2 pokercast so I was pleased to see Adam's brother Daniel Idema take down Event #27: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship after coming second in the same event last year. I think we can safely add this to the 'poker is a game of skill' argument after Mark Radoja completed a similar feat just a day before in the $5k NLHE shootout.
