Notable Information

The No-Limit Hold’em Marathon event at the 2019 WSOP was a six-day event, and Russian player Roman Korenev outlasted all of his opponents to win it. The online poker pro had cashed numerous times in the past several WSOP summers, and he already cashed in another event this summer before winning this one. And he had many friends on the rail when he did it. “I feel great!” Korenev commented. “It was a long way to this result. I have nothing to say, no words. Dreams come true.” https://twitter.com/WSOP/status/1140087717876776964 In Event 30, Luis Zedan took his PLO chip leader from Day 2 into the winner’s circle on Day 3. He said that he woke up early and visited the spa before coming back to the table very focused. And he did it, having fun along the way. “There is nothing like playing poker with friends,” he said. “I was smiling and having fun. That’s what poker should be, the idea is to make the game fun for the whole poker community.” Having won a sizeable sum of money, Zedan will be donating 35% of it to a friend’s charity in Kenya. But he will be keeping the WSOP gold bracelet. “I started to play poker seriously back in 2009…I’ve been coming (to the WSOP) since 2011 or 2012. It’s been my dream, and I’ve gotten very deep in tournaments three times. Finally, I’ve gotten first place. I’m very, very happy!” https://twitter.com/WSOP/status/1139986692528492544 And then Event 33, Robert Campbell won the Triple Draw event, becoming the first Australian to win a WSOP event this summer. And one of the players he surpassed in the tournament was defending champion Hanh Tran, who was eliminated in seventh place. It was Campbell’s second final table of this summer, but he played well and had the support of his friends on the rail, including fellow Aussies Joe Hachem and James Obst. “I’m super-duper excited,” Campbell noted, “as you can see. https://twitter.com/WSOP/status/1140186522492137472
