Notable Information

It approximately 11 hours, Event 38 started and finished online. And a familiar name was the last player standing, as Upeshka De Silva won his third WSOP bracelet (his first online). The Sri Lanka native and US resident already made a live WSOP final table this summer, but with the online win, he claimed his third career bracelet and close to $100K in cash. The Seniors Championship was a massive event this year, and Event 32 played out yesterday with Howard Mash dominating through several days of play. The American financial advisor was the chip leader at the end of Day 2 and Day 3, and he used his years of poker experience to pull out the win against a tough French opponent during heads-up play. Mash calls poker “a hobby…but a pretty serious hobby” and just barely made the age qualification for this tournament when he turned 50 last month. The win came at a good time. “I had a bad year last year personally,” he said, “and this totally makes up for it. I’m in shock. It’s like a dream come true for me.” Over in the $10K Dealer’s Choice Championship, there was controversy. The tournament played down to the final table of six and continued. When only five players remained, they went on a break thinking they would play on afterward to complete seven levels for the day. However, WSOP Tournament Supervisor Dennis Jones spoke to WSOP VP Jack Effel, and they decided play would stop for the night. Adam Friedman and Michael McKenna both wanted that to happen, but Shaun Deeb and Matt Glantz were none too happy with the decision. The discussion became heated and players continued it on Twitter, but players stopped with five remaining. It should be noted that Friedman is aiming to defend his title in this event on Monday, and Deeb is working to pick up his fifth career bracelet. https://twitter.com/shaundeeb/status/1140449930978312197 https://twitter.com/MattGlantz/status/1140486487814750208 https://twitter.com/AdamFriedman119/status/1140457152559009792
