Day 11 of the
2012 WSOP has finally managed to break the one bracelet a day pattern into which things seemed to have settled lately. 6 tournaments rolled on, of which 2 have successfully awarded their bracelets. Event #9, the $1.5k NL Holdem Re-Entry event, finally played down to its winner: Ashkan Razavi took down the goods in this one. Event #11, the $1.5k PLO one was the other bracelet event. Vincent Van Der Fluit was the winner there.
The other major highlight of the day was Phil Ivey’s performance. The player considered the best pound-for-pound poker player in the world, finally managed to finish in the money: event #14 was the scene of his deed.
Event #9 had played down to its final table the previous day, and those returning to action were well-stacked and eager to do battle. Greg Mueller and Brian Rast were among the title hopefuls, but eventually, it was Ashkan Razavi who managed to rise to the top, taking down the bracelet and the $781.3k top prize. Razavi defeated Amanda Musumeci heads-up. The runner-up’s spot was worth a handsome $481.6k too.
Event #11, the $1.5k PLO one, was the other bracelet-awarding tournament of the day. Charles Tonne was the player who started the final day of action with the largest stack, and he managed his advantage well, making it all the way to the heads-up stage before succumbing to the eventual winner: Vincent Van Der Fluit. This event was dominated by ‘name’ pros too: Tristan Wade finished 3rd for $102.6k. The top spot was worth $265.2k, on top of the prized jewelry of course.
Event #12, the $10k Heads-up NL Holdem one, saw 32 players return to its tables. At the end of the day, only 4 players remained, among them Brian Hastings and Tommy Chen. Chen will play Hastings and Brock Parker will go up against Jason Mo on the last day of the event.
Event #13, the $1.5k Limit Holdem event played down to its final 25, while event #14, the $1.5k NL Holdem Shootout, saw Phil Ivey make the money.
