PNW_WSOP_15 Summer Series Report for June 13

WSOP Event #26 $1K PLO Final

Vancouver (the one in Washington) player Noah Merritt outlasted 1,290 other PLO players to make it to 3rd place and an impressive $89K cash. He gets it in good with a straight on the flop on his final hand but is outdrawn.

WSOP Event #27 $10K Seven Card Stud Final

Washington’s Scott Clements went from the middle of the pack at the start of the day to heads-up for what would have been his third bracelet. It was his second final table of the series, and he took home $148K in consolation money.

WSOP Event #28 $1.5K NLHE Monster Stack Day 1A/1B

51 PNW players made it through Monster Stack Day 1A, and another 71 survived Day 1B, bringing 122 into the field of 2,060 returning for Day 2. Notable (to me, anyway) among the PNW players was Robert Brewer, who I interviewed for PokerNews last month. As for the rest, I’ll let the table speak. With a total of about 7,200 entries over the two days (down over 500 entries from last year), there’s still nearly $1.3M up top, and 720 players will make the money, likely sometime late tonight.
