Day 12 at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas was another action-packed day.

The last three players returned to finish up the Event #20: $1,500 Badugi final table. Unfortunately, Event #22: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship had a similarly drawn out Day 3, and so will be returning tomorrow.

Event #21: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed crowned a bracelet winner, and three other events continued their mid-game parade. These events were the Event #24: $1,500 Razz, Event #23: $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em, and Event #18: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-limit Hold'em which completed its last Day 1 flight.

Only one new WSOP event kicked off on Day 12 �� Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship

After yesterday's final table was dragged out to level 35, the final three players in Event #20: $1,500 Badugi returned today to play down to a winner.

Michael Rodrigues of Portugal won the bracelet in the end. He defeated the start of day chipleader Yingui Li and Serhii Popovych to take down $144,678, the largest live tournament cash of his career.

That wraps up this year's only all-Badugi tournament. Hopefully, there will be more of this variant on the schedule next year.

By Day 3 of the Event #21: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed, Stephen Nahm had fine-tuned his drinking schedule, telling the wait staff to bring him a new Corona every 18 minutes.

Fifteen beers (or about 4.5 hours Imperial) later, he was the proud owner of his first WSOP bracelet, along with $267,991 for first place.

Nahm had to outlast 2,071 entries to get there, and he still had fuel in the tank to go out on the town to celebrate.
