A look back at Day 22 of the 2011 WSOP: PLO tourney’s stellar final 15
Jun 23, 2011 Gambling Consultant
For the second day in a row the 2011 World Series of Poker featured a meager schedule of just four events, with only one bracelet handed out in the $1k NLHE tournament -to, you guessed it, another first-time bracelet winner!
Event #33: $1,000 No Limit Holdem, Day 3
The lone bracelet awarded on Tuesday came in the $1k NLHE tournament and was won by Mark Schmid, who outlasted the field of 3,144 players to earn his first WSOP bracelet. Schmid was eltaed with his win telling reporters: Its huge for me. This is one of my life goals. I remember on my blog last year I posted my goal was to win a bracelet I cashed three times out of eight tournaments but I didnt even make a final table. To come through with the win was huge.
1. Mark Schmid – $488,283
2. Justin Cohen – $302,031
3. Andrew Rudnik – $213,747
4. Jonathan Clancy – $154,722
5. Trevor Vanderveen – $113,297
6. Benjamin Volpe – $83,925
7. Robbie Verspui – $62,873
8. Michael Souza – $47,622
9. Jeremy Kottler – $36,473
Event #35: $5,000 PLO 6-Handed, Day 2
What a final table the $5k PLO tournament is shaping up to be! With just 15 players remaining the pros are definitely making their presence felt in this tournamnet:
1. Gregory Brooks – 1,294,000
2. David Chiu – 891,000
3. Mike Timex McDonald – 827,000
4. Jared harrington25 Bleznick – 710,000

15. Shaun Bennani – 130,000
Event #36: $2,500 No Limit Holdem, Day 1
With a total of 1,734 entrants the $2,500 NLHE tournament will likely be one of the biggest prize-pools of any preliminary event at the 2011 WSOP. By the end of the day the field had been pared down to just 308 players with a number of big names having gotten off to great starts, most notably chip-leader, and Titan Poker Pro, Marvin Rettenmaier.
1. Marvin Rettenmaier – 174,100
2. Dan OBrien – 168,300

9. Jerry Wong – 112,000
10. Dwyte Pilgrim – 110,000
Event #37: $10,000 HORSE Championship, Day 1
240 players decided to try their luck in the $10k HORSE Championship, which was a very slight decrease from last years attendance number of 241 entrants. As per usual in a non-Holdem $10k Championship the pros were out in full force, although a couple of relatively unknown players managed to end Day 1 atop the leader-board:
1. Ron Ware – 122,300
2. Dusty Leary – 114,000
3. Eugene Katchalov – 101,600
4. Daniel Negreanu – 99,900
5. Thomas Koral – 98,400
6. Brett Richey – 88,000
7. Barry Greenstein – 86,900
8. Anton Alleman – 85,800
9. Jan Suchanek – 85,100
10. Chris Tryba – 84,400
