Who Won Events 71-75 at the 2022 World Series of Poker?

The latest events to take place at the 2022 World Series of Poker have left poker fans eulogising over great plays, bad beats and action flops as five new champions lifted the famous WSOP bracelet above their heads in triumph.

Mike Allis Wins First Bracelet After Three-Hour Heads-Up

Ryan Riess came close to winning his first bracelet since 2013 as the world champion from nine years ago came second to Mike Allis in the $1,111-entry One More for One Drop event. With huge prizes on offer in the tournament, only six-figure sums were won in the top six as just three players returned to the felt on the final day.

Basel Chaura was busted in third place for $250,157 before an epic three-hour heads-up between Riess, the 2013 world champion and the eventual winner Allis. Pocket nines were no good for Riess as Allis’s six-three offsuit rivered a straight to condemn Riess to the $331,056 second-place prize and give Allis his first bracelet and the top prize of $535,610.

Bradley Anderson Beats Boatman to Mixed Omaha Gold

Event #72 was won by Bradley Anderson after a top six featuring former chip leaders Mark Erickson and Barny Boatman eventually saw both those men eliminated in the top six but just short of the win. Mixed game specialist Adam Friedman made the final table but busted in ninth place for $16,740.

With Erickson busting in sixth place for $30,026 to Scott Abrams, two-time bracelet winner Barny Boatman went in third place for $83,050 before Abrams made the heads-up. Anderson had a big lead, however, and saw out his 5:1 advantage gave him the opportunity to close out his first WSOP title and the top prize of over $195,000.

Daniel Strelitz Wins Second Bracelet in Razz Event

Popular poker player Daniel Strelitz won his second WSOP bracelet after taking down Event #73, the $1,500-entry Razz tournament. For a top prize of $115,723 Strelitz had the lead heading into the final day and made it count, beating Lynda Tran in the final showdown to take his second bracelet, denying her the first.

Other big names made the final table, with Argentinian Andres Korn busting in eighth for $10,611. With Mark Gerencher (7^th for $13,869) and Kijoon Park ($18,506) also falling short, players of huge repute like Frank Kassela, who busted fourth and Calvin Anderson, who ran all the way to third, just missed out on glory along the way.

Pei Li Takes Gold in Bounty PLO Event

Event #74, the $1,500-entry Bounty PLO event, saw chip leader Noland King overcome by Pei Li heads-up for the gold. Plenty of quality players made the final, with Portuguese player Diogo Veiga out in ninth and former bracelet winner and Bulgarian powerhouse Konstantin Angelov gone in eighth as two early exits meant a new WSOP title holder would lift the bracelet.

After Emil Tuominen left in fourth place for $63,231, Spanish player Raul Esquivel left in third place for $85,739. Li went into the heads-up against King with a 2:1 chip lead, and as the stacks got shallower, the Canadian managed to use that to his advantage, eventually taking the title and with his first bracelet… along with the $190,219 top prize.

Gregory Teboul Wins Lucky 7’s for $777,777

Finally, Event #75 saw French player Gregory Teboul win the Lucky 7’s event for $777,777 and his first-ever WSOP bracelet. With a seven-handed final table also featuring a result for the five-time bracelet winner Allen Cunningham in seventh place for $66,777, Christopher Farmer had started the day in the chip lead.

After players such as Kyle Miholich, Jed Stewart and James Hughes missed out, Farmer’s elimination in third saw him cash for $207,777 but miss out on the heads-up duel. Teboul was 2:1 down in chips when that started, but Rodney Turvin couldn’t hold onto his lead and Teboul’s ace-ten beat Turvin’s ace-six in the final hand to win the Frenchman the eye-catching top prize and his first-ever WSOP bracelet.
