Both Negreanu and Imsirovic fell short on their way to the gold bracelet.

The first champion of this year’s WSOP has been crowned after Brian Green outlasted a 203-entry-strong field in the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty (Event #2) . Green beat Ali Imsirovic heads-up to claim the bracelet and the $345,669 coming with it.

Even though Green was not the most accomplished player in the final six, Daniel Negreanu (6th; $52,099), three-time bracelet winner Loren Klein (4th; $100,775) and young high-roller Imsirovic (2nd; $213,644) all had to settle as he was unstoppable this time.

Final day recap

Green was able to double up early on, after calling Klein’s all-in with king-jack in a blind-on-blind situation. On the 29th blind-level (60K-120K/120K), Negreanu shoved all-in from the button, with ace-jack and was in a good shape against Klein’s queen-jack. However, the latter was lucky enough to hit a queen on the turn to bust Daniel. The long-time pro busted in 6th place for $52K. He was followed by Ping Liu (5th; $71,614), Klein and Asher Conniff (3rd; $145,097).

Imsirovic started the heads-up from behind but was able to even the stacks. He was in great shape when going all-in in the final hand, holding kings against the ace-nine of Green’s but the latter managed to river trip nines and close out the tournament.

The $500 Casino Employees Event reached its final six, with Isaac Hanson as the chip leader. Isaac will return to the table with a 5,550,000 stack, which equals to 45 big blinds. The winner in this event will take home $62,345, while $9,776 is already guaranteed for all of the remaining six.

The first flight in the BIG 50 – $500 No-Limit Hold’em (Event #3) generated a massive field of 6,148 entries. The field has already got down to 1,620 entries. The current chip leader is Cosimo Bisogno, with 932,000. There are several well-known faces, who advanced to Day2, meaning they have a great shot at the $1 million+ top prize.

Household names with the likes of Shaun Deeb, Mike Del Vecchio, Greg Raymer, Muskan Sethi, and Andrea Buonocore are still in. The play continues later today.
