EVENT #15 |
5K 7-STUD HI-LOW SPLIT-8 OR BETTER |
212 ENTRIES | 996K PRIZEPOOL


We went way into the night to find a Champion in the Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low Split-8 or Better Championship - the event ended minutes before 5am in Vegas - where overnight chip leader Adam Friedman (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-39th) held on to win his first bracelet over poker legend Todd Brunson (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 59th) - who was seeking his second bracelet.


John Monnette (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 5th) - who was seeking a second bracelet this week and a third of his career - wasn't able to win, but, the 47 PTPR Points he accumulated in the event allow him to enter the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Top 10 Leaderboard, powered by PTPRpoker.

Former EPT Loutraki winner Zimnan Ziyard (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 138th), Phil Ivey (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 208th), Bryn Kenney (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 104th) and Brian Twete (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-807th) all final tabled this event.

Jesse Martin, Christopher George, Nicholas Verkaik, Ben Yu, Phil Hellmuth, Allen Bari and Marco Johnson all earned Top 18 finishes.
