Derek Raymond is your Omaha 8-or-better winner. The event was a $2,500 buy-in resulting in $229,192 in prize winnings. Mark Tenner finished second.
John Kabbaj won the $10,000 Pot Limit Hold’em World Championship in a field of 275 for a $633,335 payday.
Elder statesmen Michael Davis was also a bracelet winner, taking the $1,000 Seniors World Championship for $437,358.
As the WSOP winds down, heads will now tun to the $50,000 Horse event which Scotty Nguyen embarrassingly but entertainingly won last year.
Here is the video of shame for Scotty’s legacy. He has since apologized and acknowledged that he drank too much.
As bad as he acted and as much as I am for regular behavior at the poker tables, I’m willing to let it go. I think Scotty is generally a good guy but his flaw is trying to act too flamboyant. Once the overflow liquor got in him, he lost control and you saw the result.
Can’t wait to see this year’s Horse.
