Phil Hellmuth battling for POY, Addamo’s $50K win, and Jeff Platt’s deep run made headlines in Week 4 of the 2021 WSOP. Incredible heaters and heartwarming stories took focus during a wild week of the 2021 World Series of Poker.
This year’s historic WSOP is now officially past the halfway point and this week has forged some of the memories that won’t soon be forgotten. Hellmuth surged (then lost) the 2021 Player of the Year lead, Michael Addamo booked another incredible high roller win, and the three-time bracelet winner club added a brand new wing to the clubhouse.
Plus, a deep run by broadcaster Jeff Platt and the poker community rallying, once again, to show how generous it can be when someone is in need were other bright spots this week.
Let’s kick off the second half of the series by taking a look at the five biggest storylines to emerge from Week 4 of the World Series of Poker. Hellmuth, Zinno Top Player of the Year Race
Much has been made of Phil Hellmuth’s red hot start to the 2021 World Series of Poker and how he broke through to win his record-extending 16th career bracelet. Well, after five final tables, his bracelet victory, a runner-up finish, and six total cashes, he grabbed the POY lead from his series nemesis, Anthony Zinno, earlier this week.
Then, days later, Zinno took it right back.
Now the series is halfway done and if Hellmuth wants to add that Player of the Year title to his poker resume, he’s going to have to take fewer days off and put his nose to the grindstone for the duration. Otherwise, one of the many challengers that are vying for the title are going to freeze him out once again. Hello World Series of Sleep!
