Event 28: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em - Four-Handed (Completed)

Day 1 Ends Six Eliminations Off of the Bubble

Brian Rast ends the night as one of our chip leaders. Ten levels of play are in the books here in Event 28: $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em – Four-Handed, and six of the remaining 86 players will return to Day 2 only to leave empty-handed. Steven Weiss (171,000) and Brian Rast (168,000) most likely won’t bust before the money bubble bursts – they’re our chip leaders. Event 28 was one of the most anticipated events of the summer, because there has never been a four-max tournament in the history of the World Series of Poker. There were 750 entrants looking to make history as the first four-max bracelet winner ever, and the chips were flying almost immediately. During the first six levels of play, we lost more than two thirds of the field, including Phil Ivey, Jason Mercier, Marvin Rettenmaier, Daniel Negreanu, David Vamplew, Aaron Jones, and the 2009 Main Event Champion Joe Cada.

Re: Event 28: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em - Four-Handed (Day 1 Completed) Congratulations to Timothy Adams, Winner of Event 28, $2,500 NLH Four-Handed ($392,476)

Bracelet winner Timothy Adams The third and final day of Event 28, $2,500 No Limit Hold’em Four-Handed, of the World Series of Poker has come to an end. After returning with eight players only Timothy Adams walked away with $392,476 and his first WSOP gold bracelet. It took less than one full level to trim the field to five and move to the ESPN Feature Table in the Amazon Room. Andrey Gulyy, Toan Trinh and Torrey Reily were all short stacked and looked to double up. But their luck didn’t hold and they missed out on the final table.
