The WSOP Main Event is currently in Day 4 and reached the money bubble late last night. Hundreds of players have collected a payout so far today and made the trip down Flamingo Road to the Venetian to take part in this $1,500,000 guaranteed event.
Carlos Mortensen hit the rail early today at the Rio but is forever encased in history for his 2001 Main Event win. The 2016 Poker Hall of Fame inductee has three cashes at The Venetian this summer but remains in search of his first ever title here. Mortensen has obviously accomplished plenty in his time on the felt and it would come as no surprise to see him make one more run to finish out his summer.
Brandon West took down the first DSE III trophy handed out this summer by winning Event 1: $250 $125,000 guaranteed. That win earned West $31,000 and he made a trip to the payout desk a little bit earlier today after cashing in the Main Event for the first time. West’s career earnings are now over the $300,000 mark and he can add even more with a deep finish in Event 99.
