WSOP 2022 Day 40: Main Event Makes the Money

Written by Jennifer Newell

The biggest bubble in poker burst late last night. It was the money bubble in the Main Event.

For many years, the money bubble didn’t come into play until Day 4, but last year and again this year, it happened on Day 3. It was late into the evening when some players were busting in very tough spots…before that bubble. The bubble itself is somewhat less painful, only in that the WSOP has been giving that bubble player a seat into next year’s Main Event.

Last night, it happened a bit differently. Three players busted on the bubble, which meant that the three split the 1300th-place payout of $15K. Each of the men walked away with $5K. It is unclear, but doubtful, that anyone received a complimentary $10K seat into next year’s event, considering there was no stone bubble player.

The 1,299 players who bagged chips last night didn’t much care about that. They were each guaranteed at least $15K, and their dreams lived for another day.

Event 70: $10K NLHE Main Event

As mentioned, the money bubble burst late into the night. Three players – Robert Lipkin, Tom McCormick, and Ognjen Sekularac – split the 1300th-place prize money of $15K, so each took home $5K. It could’ve been worse.

It should also be noted that Kevin Campbell, who famously busted on the money bubble at the 2021 WSOP Main Event, freerolled into this year’s tournament. And he is now in the money.

Notably, last year’s Main Event champion, Koray Aldemir, remains in contention to defend his title. Previous champions Damian Salas, John Cynn, Greg Merson, and Ryan Riess bagged chips last night as well.

The field will drastically diminish today. After a flurry of bustouts early in the day, play should settle down and move along at a normal clip.

Event 71: $1K NLHE One More for One Drop

Attendance for this year’s One Drop charity tournament appears to be down significantly from 2019. If numbers are to be believed – since there is still no official word as to field and prize pool totals – there were little more than 5K entries this year. That is well beyond the 3,797 of last year but not even close to the 6,248 of 2019.

Event 71: Day 1C of 5 $1,111 buy-in One More for One Drop NLHE (unlimited RE)

#5: Huy Nguyen (USA) 375,000

 

Event 72: $1,500 Mixed Omaha

Starting with 23 players, Paul Sokoloff led the exits from the field. Mel Judah finished in 20th place, Michelle Roth in 19th, and eventually Adam Friedman in ninth. The final eight took positions at one table, with Mark Erickson as the chipleader and Shawn Carter on the short stack. When the latter exited in eighth place, the official final table of seven began.

Play continued for a long time before Jarod Minghini departed in seventh place. Scott Abrams had taken over as the chipleader, and he finally busted Mark Erickson in sixth place. Peter Neff took out Men “The Master” Nguyen in fifth, but Neff himself had a tough time going forward. Bradley Anderson finally busted him in fourth. Anderson soared into an overwhelming chip lead and busted Barny Boatman in third place.

Anderson took 16M chips into heads-up battle against Abrams and his 3.2M. Abrams tried repeatedly to chip up, but Anderson finally got the best of him to win his first WSOP bracelet.

Event 72: Day 3 of 3 $1,500 buy-in Mixed Omaha (2 RE)

Event 73: $1,500 Razz

This field worked its way from 123 players at the start of the day to just nine. After Colton Blomberg busted in tenth place, the final nine took a seat at one table but failed to eliminate another player before the night ended. The nine will return to play for the win on Sunday.
