Henry Acain has won the $500 buy-in Housewarming No-Limit Hold'em event on Tuesday, outlasting a mammoth field of 20,080 entries. For his efforts, he wins $701,215 and his first gold bracelet.
The win in the event, which only required a $500 entry, Acain needed to outlast the largest field so far during the 2022 WSOP. With over 20,000 entries, the event plowed through its guaranteed $5 million prize pool, paying out over $10 million.
In post-match comments, Acain said the win was a lifetime accomplishment. “Amazing, I feel pretty good about it. It's like my dream come true.”
The final table of the event was live-streamed through PokerGo and posted on YouTube:
Raj Vohra is the winner of the $600 No Limit Hold'em Deepstack, surviving a field of 5,715 entries over two days to win his first WSOP bracelet and a $335,886 first-place prize. Vohra, whose biggest victory in the WSOP came during the 2008 No Limit Hold'em, was elated to finally get the coveted WSOP gold.
“It's a dream come true. It's the best moment of my life. I've waited for so many years, at least 15 years, for this moment, and it's finally arrived. This is just a blessing, having all my friends and family here, my wife, it doesn't get any better than this. This is it. But this is not the end, this is just the beginning. We got the first one, let's see how many more we're gonna get.
Other big winners included Qing Liu ($207,192), Hung Tran ($154,831), and Nicole Limo Greene.
