Tann's the Man
By the by, since the elimination of Karl Mahrenholz in sixth place, we are now able to declare Willie Tann the most successful player of this WSOPE so far!
Our reasoning is as follows:
Tann is one of only two people who made the finals of both the six-max event and this here PLO-in-progress, the other one being Chris Bjorin. Bjorin finished third in the six-max and ninth in the PLO, producing an average of sixth place. Tann came sixth in the six-max, so in order to better Bjorin's average results he would have to finish at least fifth in this one. Which he has now achieved. Congratulations, Mr. Tann!
Tann is admittedly one of our shorter stacks right now, but is still in with a shot at winning his second bracelet. It's been a good week for the "Dice Man" - and, we suspect, the table games at the Empire...
