The World Series of every year is defined by people who not only do well and win a bracelet in one event, but those who cash in many events. Brock Parker is off to a good start, he has now won his second bracelet in less than four days.
His latest bracelet came on the tables at the $2,500 Six Man No-Limit Hold'em event. He was up against Joe Serock, and there was not much Serock could do to slow down Parker. He won the event, and walked away from the tournament with his second bracelet and $552,745.
The World Championship Omaha HL/8 or Better tournament was also heavily contested. It had some of the biggest names in poker at the final table in Daniel Negreanu and Annie Duke. They both fell short, however, and Daniel Alaei won the top prize. Negreanu finished fourth and Duke came in eighth.
Eric Seidel was making his first strong run in the Pot-Limit Hold'em tournament, Event 20. The event had a $1,500 buy-in, and 633 players entered. Seidel's efforts landed him just short of the win, and the tournament now has only five players remaining. John-Paul Kelly is the current chip leader.
Event 21 has also reached the final table. The H.O.R.S.E. tournament with a $3,000 buy-in had Gavin Smith just miss out on the final table. He finished in tenth. James Van Alstyne is the chip leader with 720,000 chips.
On Thursday, two more tournaments began, and it will be the same way all the way through the weekend. On Saturday, a World Championship Heads Up No-Limit tournament will begin. It carries a $10,000 buy-in.
