Schulman & Adams Eye Second Bracelets of Summer in $100K High Roller
One player won their first bracelet playing on their mobile phone in the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino cash game area. The other won their third at the final table of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship. Both are in with a chance of winning their second WSOP gold bracelets of the summer with six left in Event #83: $100,000 High Roller.
Both Brandon Adams and Nick Schulman find themselves well-positioned behind current chip leader Keith Tilston when play resumes six-handed at midday.
Rounding out the final table is Dominik Nitsche, Igor Kurganov and a certain Daniel Negreanu who despite coming into the final table as the short stack with just 13 big blinds, will see this is a real opportunity for bracelet number seven and his first in Las Vegas for 11 years.
Here's how the final six players are seated:
