Body:
Greg Mueller won his second bracelet at this year's World Series of Poker, following a trend finding him the fourth multiple bracelet winner this year, including Jeffrey Lisandro, who has won three tournaments. The result of the cream repeatedly rising to the top convincingly demonstrates the poker players' argument that theirs is a game of skill, and luck only plays a minute part in determining winners.
Mueller took down Event 50, the limit Hold'em shootout, to pick up $194,909 for himself. Marc Naalden finished second and earned $120,614.
The world champonship of H.O.R.S.E. continued, as players vied for the $4,560,000 prize pool. Thirteen players still remain, but big names like Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Scotty Nguyen, and John Kabbaj all fell today. Erik Sagstrom has a small chip lead, but faces tough pursuers including Vitaly Lunkin, Gus Hansen, and Ville Wahlbeck.
The latest warm-up for the Main Event, another no limit Hold'em tourney, is down to the final table. Event 51 sees Jason Helder with the hip lead, while Steven Levy and Thibaut Durand are the nearest competition.
Event 52, the triple chance no limit Hold'em tournament, still has 81 players fighting for a chance at a bracelet. Also ongoing is Event 53, seven card stud High-Low. Just getting rolling are Events 54 and 55, featuring no limit Hold'em and 2-7 triple draw lowball, respectively.
Action is getting more intense as the big finale nears, so be sure to check back tomorrow with Online Poker Website for the best of the WSOP at the Rio in Las Vegas.
