Michael Mizrachi Finishes Overall Chip Leader of Day 1 Event #11: $365 PLO GIANT Pot-Limit Omaha
Level 21
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
As predicted, Day 1e of Event #11: $365 PLO GIANT Pot-Limit Omaha was the busiest yet. A total of 1,247 players took a seat and at the end, just 79 were still standing. Each of those is guaranteed at least $843 but it won't be until Day 2 that the full payouts are confirmed.
Michael Mizrachi not only finished top of his flight, the four-time bracelet winner also finished as the overall chip leader, beating 3,250 players who registered across the five Day 1s, to the top spot. He will bring 1,845,000 through to Day 2. Mizrachi's journey saw him near the top of the counts about half-way through the day but after suffering a set back towards the end of the evening, he hit quad deuces to win a hefty pot in the penultimate hand of the night.
Also bagging big were Robert Dukes (1,530,000), Srinivas Balasubramanian (1,245,000), Mark Darner (1,165,000) and Nick Guagenti (1,125,000). They are also joined by four-times bracelet winner Dominik Nitsche (360,000) and bracelet winner Robert Cheung (345,000).
Today's survivors will combine with all those who made it through across the first four flights to return for Day 2. All the action will take place in the Amazon room, from 2pm on Monday, 2 July.
As always, Pokernews will be here from start to finish, bringing you live updates for this and all events at the WSOP.
