Most Mondays suck, but in Las Vegas, you could win a WSOP bracelet and fondle a stack of cash. Multiple bracelets were shipped at the 2021 WSOP at the Rio Casino with the $10K Stud Championship coming to an end and Phill Hellmuth leaving disappointed after another epic run fell short of his ultimate goal to win another bracelet to add to his staggering collection.

Event #19 $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship attracted 62 players and a prize pool worth $578K. Only the top ten places paid out. Scott Bohlman, George Alexander, and Daniel Zack cashed but fell short of the final seven.

The final seven in $10K Stud included Anthony Zinno, James Chen, Jose Paz-Gutierrez, Phil Hellmuth, Jack McClelland, Stephen Chidwick, and Jason Gola.

Hellmuth made another final table less than two weeks into the 2021 WSOP during his relentless pursuit of bracelet #16. He went deep in another mixed-game event, but fell short of the mark when his run ended in fourth place.

Bolivia's Jose Paz-Gutierrez took third place, which set up the heads-up finale between Taiwan's James Chen and Anthony Zinno. Chen finished in second place, which paid out $113K.

Zinno banked $182,872 for the victory and his third bling. Zinno won his first bracelet back in 2015 and added a second one in 2019.

Meanwhile, the first Lowball bracelet was up for grabs on Monday. 2021 WSOP Event #18 $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball attracted 253 runners and a prize pool worth nearly $563K. The top 38 places paid out $134,390 set aside to the Lowball champion.

The final seven included Vladimir Peck, Venkata Tayi, Joao Vieira, Aaron Rogers, Brian Yoon, Hal Rotholz, and Carlos Rodriguez. Joao Vieira, a pro from Portugal, busted in third place.

DJ Alexander cut his teeth playing circuit events in Oklahoma, New Orleans, and the East Coast. He finally got a taste of winning gold at the WSOP after a close call in 2017 with a runner-up finish in the Milly Maker.

Event #20 $1,000 Flip & Go No NL attracted 1,240 runners and a prize pool worth $1.1 million. The top 155 places paid out with $180,665 set aside to the Flip champ.
