Notable Information
The $888 Crazy Eights NLHE tournament wrapped yesterday with an exciting final table and Rick Alvarado in the winner’s circle. After seven entries to the tournament, he made it work and walked away with his first WSOP bracelet and $888,888 in cash. “I’m stoked,” he said. “It’s quite unbelievable. I’m thrilled. This is my biggest cash.”
Alvarado was able to do it with his mom on the rail, alongside some friends. He originally told her not to make the flight from California when he was a shorter stack, but when he doubled up at the final table, she booked a flight and made it just in time for the final hands. “I couldn’t be happier,” he said of his mom’s presence. “Everything just worked out today.”
Meanwhile, the $1K Mini Main Event was playing out with a culturally-diverse final table. And ultimately, out of 5,521 players, Frenchman Jeremy Saderne triumphed to win more than $628K.
“All of my friends were here,” he said. “It was incredible. I have never seen that before. It was better than in the Marseille stadium, and I am very thankful. I just want to say thank you to all of my friends; they gave me a lot of power and energy. They were incredible.”
