Ka Kwan Lau The 30th day of the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) saw the tournament areas of the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino full to bursting with five huge events filling almost every table in the building.
Day 2 of the $1,000 Seniors Championship saw its monster-sized field whittled to a more manageable 148 players, while the $400 Colossus attracted 4,217 hopefuls to the tables. Only 484 remained at the close of play.
Some of the best mixed game specialists came and went in the $2,500 Nine-Game Mix, with 306 short-handed specialists fighting it out in the $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em Championship.
The other event running was the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller where only five players remain in contention for the tournament’s gold bracelet, and the not-so-small matter of a $1,251,860 top prize.
