Notable Information

In the $1,500 Mixed NLHE/PLO event, the last player standing on Saturday was Jerry Odeen of Sweden. Ten years after starting to play poker in his teenage years, he won the bracelet. “This is something I’ve always wanted since I started watching poker when I was like 15 years old,” he said. And he did it with just hours to spare before his flight back to Sweden. As he showed his excitement after his win, Odeen also noted, “It feels pretty surreal.” https://twitter.com/WSOP/status/1150180202242121728 One event that many were watching on Saturday was the $100K NLHE High Roller, as big names duked it out at the final table for the title. Only one player among them had yet to win any WSOP bracelet – Keith Tilston – but he changed that with the play of his life. He defeated tough opponents, including Daniel Negreanu heads-up. “It feels great to win one against this type of field,” he admitted. Tilston also had to focus while the majority of the rail was cheering for Negreanu. “Any other time, I would be rooting for him,” he said. But he played on and stuck to his strategy. “I’m happy with how I played. I didn’t really make any mistakes.” https://twitter.com/WSOP/status/1150201454797307905
