World Series of Photos: Champions of Championships

Throughout the summer, PokerGO will bring fans across the globe exclusive access to World Series of Poker final table streams and Poker Central will be following all the WSOP action. Each day, “World Series of Photos” will tell the daily stories from the Rio, so you don’t miss any of the sights of the WSOP.

Event #38 – $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship

We’re back from a World Series of Photos hiatus and that means we need to update a few events but only a few were as meaningful as Joe McKeehen’s second bracelet victory. The past, present and future champion proved that he was anything but a one-hit wonder, after winning the Main Event in 2015, besting a tough $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship field.

Event #42 – $10,000 No Limit Hold’em 6-Handed Championship

The other Championship event of last week was streamed live on PokerGO and in the end, Russia’s Dmitry Yurasov claimed the $10,000 No Limit Hold’em 6-Handed title. Arguably the *Pro Bowl of WSOP events, some players consider this bracelet to be the most prestigious title outside the $50,000 Poker Players Championship and the Main Event. To relive Yurasov’s victory and all the WSOP action from the first half of the series, watch event replays on PokerGO.

Event #48 – $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Championship

Phil Hellmuth has recorded five WSOP cashes this year to push his all-time record to 123 WSOP cashes. Those scores haven’t helped to add to his 14-career bracelets though, coming close in the $111,111 High Roller for One Drop at the start of the series but falling just short of the final table. Hellmuth, pictured top, will hope that all changes today, when he returns for the final day of the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Championship.

Event #49 – $3,000 Pot Limit Omaha 6-Handed

The $3,000 Pot Limit Omaha 6-Handed event returns far from crowning a champion but when someone does claim the Event #49 bracelet, it will be streaming live on PokerGO tomorrow. There are over 100 players remaining heading to Day 2 but one of the WSOP’s biggest names are near the top of the counts, as former November Niner Chino Rheem comes back second in chips. If the aggressive Rheem makes the PokerGO live stream, that would certainly count as must watch action.
