Bonomo and Seiver Through to Round of 16 in $10K Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’Em Championship
Niveau 28
: 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
In total 114 players registered for Event #16: $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’Em Championship. That meant that 14 players got a bye to the Round of 64 and 50 matches were played in a sort of $5,000 satellite. Those 100 players got half of their entry back.
After three rounds of play, 16 players are coming back to continue to battle for the gold WSOP bracelet and the first-place prize of $185,965.
Scott Seiver probably had the shortest amount of play time of all players today. In the first round, he only needed one hand to take out Samuel Touil when he hit quads with his pocket tens. Brandon Steven was the first to win his match when he eliminated Joao Simao with a set of kings. Unfortunately, Steven didn’t manage to survive his next match.
Also through to the Round of 16 is Justin Bonomo, who beat David Peters, David Laka and Jake Schindler. Niall Farrel made it as well, defeating Bill Klein, Adam Greenberg, and Michael Gagliano.
Jan-Eric Schwippert fought his way through Michael Addamo, Cary Katz, and Boris Martin to advance. Jason Mo also made it through by defeating Sean Perry, Joe McKeehen, and Max Steinberg.
Not everyone was as fortunate to make it through in the star-studded field. Defending champion Adrian Mateos was taken out by Tom Canulli, and heads-up legend John Smith couldn’t get past Kane Kalas in the first round.
Other unlucky players included Phil Ivey, Joe Cada, Ryan Riess, Phil Hellmuth, Jonathan Duhamel, Jeff Gross, Stephen Chidwick, Kristen Bicknell, Erik Seidel, Dario Sammartino, 888poker ambassador Dominik Nitsche, and many others.
The 16 remaining players will be coming back on Thursday, June 7th at 12pm local time with 400,000 in chips each. The winners of those matchups will return at 3pm to play the Round of 8, where each will be guaranteed $31,086. The Final Four may begin on Thursday, although that decision will come at some point before play begins.
The bracket through the completion of the Round of 32 is posted below.
