Welcome to the ARIA Resort & Casino, and the 2018 Poker Masters for Event #6: $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
Friday saw the kick-off of the 2018 Poker Masters live from the PokerGO Studio and Event #1 would see David Peters emerge victorious over the 69-player field to capture the $193,200 first prize. Event #2 took place on Saturday, and Brandon Adams defeated the 50-player field to take home the $400,000 first prize. Sunday saw the game change to Pot-Limit Omaha, and it would be Keith Lehr defeating the 37-player field to capture the $333,000 first prize. Monday saw the game switch again with Event #4: $10,000 Short Deck Poker taking center stage and it would be Isaac Haxton capturing the $176,000 first prize after he defeated the 55-player field.
The fifth event on the schedule saw a return to No-Limit Hold'em, and with it saw 66 players take a seat. In three consecutive hands, David Sands would be left with just one chip, then Justin Bonomo would be eliminated, before Sands would then bubble in 11th place. Dan Smith (10th), Bryn Kenney (9th), and Dan Shak (8th) all fell before the unofficial final table, and on the first hand of the redraw, Elio Fox (7th) would be dealt a cooler by making a runner-runner nut flush only to be shown the flopped full house of Jake Schindler when all the money went in on the river. Consequently, Schindler would hold a strong chip lead over Ben Yu and Ali Imsirovic, while Brian Rast and Jason Koon would sit with just under average chips as Daniel Negreanu rounded out the final table as the short stack with just seven big blinds. Day 2 final table action will be live streamed on PokerGO, while updates will be provided right here on PokerNews once play begins at 12 p.m. (PDT).
