A Winner Will Be Crowned in Event #18: $5,000 Short Deck Championship
The 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events will determine another WSOP gold bracelet winner as of 5.01 pm UTC. In a field of 144 entries, seven players remain in the mix for the largest slice of the $684,000 prize pool in Event #18: $5,000 Short Deck Championship. This includes three former bracelet winners and two first-time finalists.
Radmir "KOPOBA" Sadirov sits atop the leaderboard with a significant lead as he holds nearly half of the chips in play. His stack of 4,131,749 represents 258 antes, which is more than three times as many as Second-placed Yen-Liang "yao_poker" Yao (1,305,762). The player from Taiwan will aim to finish one spot better than his runner-up finish in Event #6: $200 FLIP & GO NO-Limit Hold'em.
Third in chips is Mukoro "AnonAnomaly" Gberevbie who appears to represent Ireland according to the GGPoker client. His stack of 699,655 is narrowly ahead of four well-known and experienced poker pros. Sam Greenwood, Daniel Dvoress, and Joao Vieira all have a WSOP bracelet to their name already. Italian poker pro Dario Sammartino missed out on the same feat several times and returns with the shortest stack of 31 antes.
