Tuesday was another big day at the 2022 WSOP with four new bracelet winners including a new four-time bracelet winner.
Jeremy Ausmus secured his 4th bracelet win after winning Event #23, the $3,000 6-Handed Limit Hold’em event over three days. A total of 213 players entered the event with Ausmus earning his win on Monday night to also take home a first-place prize of $142,147.
Ausmus’s victory is his first this year but third over the last two years. Previous bracelets were earned during the 2021 $50,000 High Roller Pot Limit Omaha and 2021 $1,000 COVID-19 Relief No Limit Hold’em Charity Event. His first bracelet of his career came during the 2013 WSOP Europe €1,650 Pot-Limit Omaha.
In post-match comments, Ausmus talked about the back and forth that he experienced at the final table. “It’s just kind of the nature of limit, well poker in general but limit especially is very aggressive with a lot of three-betting and raising flops and raising turns- it’s very volatile and frustrating at times. But then I just ran good against Rocco who plays heads-up lots and the win feels good.”
Other bracelet winners
In Event #24, Christopher Chatman won the FLIP & GO No Limit Hold’em, which attracted 1,329 players over two days of play. Chatman ultimately finished on top to win his first bracelet and a $187,770 first-place prize. At the final table, Chatman outlasted Rafi Elharar heads-up and other notable players such as Pete Chen and Mike Matusow.
On early Tuesday morning, Rob Wazwaz took down the $800 No Limit Hold’em Deepstack, outlasted a field of 4,062 entries over two days to secure his first WSOP bracelet and a $358,346 first place prize. Other big winners at the final table where Robert Crow ($221,399), Terence Reid ($166,011), and Sean Legendre ($125,371).
Wazwaz said after the final table that his previous final tables prepared him for his ultimate victory in the $800 No Limit Hold’em Deepstack. ”It was my third final table, but first since a long time. Back then, I wasn’t as experienced, I didn’t play them right when I got deep. But I’ve come a long way, and my dream was to come out here and win a bracelet”.
Brian Altman won the sole online bracelet of the weekend, taking down the $400 No LImit Hold’em Ultra Deepstack to win his first bracelet and a first place prize of $110,662, outlasting a field of 1,641 entries.
