It would be Daniel Alaei who would be victorious in the final preliminary WSOP event of the summer, earning his 4th career gold bracelet and over $852k by taking down event #61, $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha.
Of course, with an event of this caliber, it wouldn’t be easy. There were 386 runners, including an large contingency of elite names from the poker world, who ponied up the 10k to take their final shot before the Main Event. In the end though, it would be Alaei and high-stakes online pro Jared “Harrington10” Bleznick who found themselves heads-up for the bracelet.
Bleznick, who has made a name for himself at the online tables, notched his largest live cash to date with the over $562k score and, according to WSOP.com, it also marked his first WSOP final table.
The win for Alaei marked his 2nd cash of the summer, the first being a 17th place finish in the $111,111 One Drop High Roller event.
With no more prelim events left, all eyes look to the WSOP Main Event, which starts Day 1C today at 12PM PST.
