After three-time WSOP bracelet winner Nick "CashUsKlay" Schulman bubbled the tournament in 168th place, players started falling at a rapid pace.
Among the notables to cash were WSOP bracelet winner Ryan "joeyisamush" Depaulo (158th - $841), six-time bracelet winner Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu (92nd - $861.97), Michael "Whats__next" Gagliano (75th - $1,177), Upeshka "gomezhamburg" De Silva (37th - $2,130), Andrew ��WATCHGUY42�� Lichtenberger (28th - $2,466), Brad ��mrmonkeybear�� Owen (17th - $3,699), and Kathy ��Luckygal�� Liebert (12th - $5,885).
Loeser actually eliminated Liebert after he four-bet jammed with pocket sevens and she called with ace-king suited. It was a big flip and Loeser��s pocket pair held strong to end Liebert��s quest for a second bracelet.
At the final table, Loeser built a big stack and used to apply pressure to his opponents, though he only notched two knockouts. Fortunately, they were the ones that counted as his pocket sixes held against ace-six suited to eliminate ��WompDatTHomp�� in third place and then in the final hand had his queens hold up against sixes to dispatch Mark "Nostradonkus" Liedtke in second place.
Here's a look at what Loeser did to celebrate.
On Saturday, July 3 at 3 p.m. PT, Event #3: $500 NLH Turbo Deepstack will take place, and once again we'll be bringing you all the live updates.
