The latest mixed game of the 2020 GGPoker World Series of Poker Online Bracelet Events has determined a champion and it took more than 12 and a half hours to whittle down a field of 1,281 entries to a winner in Event #66: $800 Pot Limit Omaha. When all was done and dusted in the morning hours in Europe, it was Toby "shinerrr" Joyce that claimed the lion's share of the $973,560 prize pool after defeating Mark "Beanboozled" Herm in heads-up.
Joyce had racked up 24 WSOP cashes in Las Vegas, in Europe and on the Circuit. The Irishman from Galway then cashed in ten tournaments during the current festival on the GGNetwork thus far including four PLO events, and the deepest run was a 13th place in Event #35: $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha Championship. However, after a short-lived heads-up with Herm, Joyce has followed into the footsteps of fellow countryman Eoghan O'Dea who won his maiden bracelet in Event #51: $400 Pot Limit Omaha.
For much of the final table it seemed as if it was Herm's tournament to lose as he entered with the chip lead and dominated the action with sheer relentless aggression. Joyce was patiently waiting to ladder up with a shorter stack and suddenly burst into action in three-handed play when he doubled twice through Herm. He then knocked out Maksim "MAX FOMIN" Fomin and the chips went flying after that with the fortune on the side of Joyce.

No Cash for Negreanu
A six-handed PLO format with two reentries allowed promised action and delivered on that promise. Once late registration had closed, a 1,281-player field had gathered for a prize pool just shy of $1M. GGPoker ambassador Daniel Negreanu, who's been a cashing machine this series, failed to reach the money stages this time and dropped three bullets, losing his final one at the hands of Joseph "jellopy77" Cheong.
Negreanu found himself in good companionship as Ali Imsirovic and Chris Brewer would join him on the rail. Next to the event, Imsirovic and Brewer also dabbled in the monster $500/$1,000 cash game that's been running, with more on that later today on PokerNews. Felipe Ramos, Andrew Neeme, and Juha Helppi also didn't note any cashes.
Once the bubble had burst, eliminations started flying in at a rapid pace with the likes of Chris Moorman, Ryan Riess, Pete Chen, Aaron Van Blarcum, Brian Rast, Mark Radoja, Yuri Dzivielevski, and Alyssa "xAlyssaTTV" MacDonald all adding another WSOP cash to their resumé.
Final Table Action
At the final table, it was Herm kicking it off with a sizable chip lead, ahead of Maksim "MAX FOMIN" Fomin and Jonas "deucesup" Kronwitter. After the eliminations of Wilder "wilder brito" Brito and Rahul "sabertooth35" Guptam the seven remaining players played a full hour without any eliminations before Grzegorz "CUatRhinosLV" Derkowski headed to the rail.
While favored preflop with 
against Fomin's 
, the latter found a deuce on the flop to leave the field with six. Fomin also eliminated Giorgiy "NINASKH" Skhulukhiya as an underdog next, hitting two pair against aces, then eliminated Nazarenko to make it three scalps in a row.
Herm then took out Kronwitter with aces against kings before Fomin's run halted against Joyce. It was a traditional PLO action pot, with Fomin getting 
in against Joyce's 
on a 
board. Fomin's lead wasn't challenged after the 
turn, but the 
river got Joyce there with trips to set up the showdown against Herm.
Heads-up lasted just twenty minutes as the chips flew in the middle with Herm's 
against Joyce's 
. Joyce was a minor favorite and flopped well on 
to take a bigger lead. The 
on the turn filled him up, making the merely one for the statistics. The well-known American grinder will have to wait longer for his WSOP gold, while Joyce captured Ireland's second bracelet of the series.

And just like that the chips went flying as Toby "shinerrr" Joyce clicked it up to 2.4 million and Mark "Beanboozled" Herm then reraised the pot to 7.2 million. Joyce ripped it in and Herm called for a pot of 23.15 million.
Mark "Beanboozled" Herm:
Toby "shinerrr" Joyce:
Joyce flopped top two pair on while Herm was hoping for an eight or a ten. Instead, all that hope was gone by the time the turn fell as Joyce had a deadlock on the hand. A meaningless appeared on the river and Herm had to settle for second place and $109,908.88.
Joyce has won his maiden gold bracelet and $139,452.91 for the efforts, and this is the second Irish Pot Limit Omaha bracelet of the festival.
