“I think maybe because it is my first bracelet, everyone wanted to support me, I am really thankful for them. At the WSOP there are so many different events to play, and they came on this day to watch me in a game where they don’t see what I have ninety percent of the time, so I’m really thankful," Abrams said upon winning the bracelet.

Action was heads-up to the Q♦3♣9♦ flop, and Ray Henson facing a bet of 700 in the cutoff.
Henson took a moment before tossing out a raise to 2,500, which was called to the 3♥ turn.
After seeing his opponent check, Henson fired 4,500. That produced a fold to take down a sizeable early pot .

With action being picked up on the flop with three players in the pot with a board showing A♥J♣2♠ Murilo Souza bet 400 out of the small blind. David Katz in the big blind called, while Gordon Slutsky folded.
The turn was the 2♦ and Souza check-called the bet of 700 from Katz.
The river came the 3♦ to complete the board, and Souza lead out for 3,000. Katz then raised to 11,000 which was called by Souza.
Katz turned over A♠5♥5♠4♦2♥ for a full house, deuces full of aces and a low of five-four.
Souza showed A♣3♥5♣4♠Q♠ for a straight in the form of a wheel, and the same five-four as Katz.
Souza ended up getting quartered, with Katz taking the high hand and the players chopping the low.
