Notable Information

The Big 50 drew all of the crowds for which the WSOP staff had hope. There were so many people that some of the daily tournaments had to be cancelled for lack of space…in a convention center. People were out in force for the anniversary special.

It is also important to note that the Big 50 will not play out like most other multi-day tournaments, as the remaining players from the first flight play again today instead of taking a day off before resuming. The setup is a bit unique, but the WSOP explained it:

We have approx. 1,000 seats left to sell for today's Flight A of BIG 50. If you plan on playing today, best to get down to @RioVegas https://t.co/aojwxMBP8L pic.twitter.com/cD3juodiQ5

Brian Green won the first WSOP gold bracelet of the summer, outlasting a pro-heavy field to capture his first WSOP title. It was, however, his 27th WSOP cash.
