There was a dramatic end to Day 5 of the 2018 Main Event as a big storm in Las Vegas caused a power cut to the Rio and the surrounding areas late on, so organisers made the decision to end the day early and have the 109 remaining players bag up and return today to play Day 6 as scheduled!
Chip leader right now is Michael Dyer on just over 12million chips, but there is a host of big names still in the running including former champion Joe Cada and 2018 bracelet winner Shaun Deeb, with all remaining players guaranteed at least $91,000
------
Popular poker coach Ryan Leng wins his first WSOP bracelet in Event #51: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty for just over a quarter of a million as well as a host of $500 bounties for the knockouts along the way to victory!
------
Scott Seiver overcame an All-American final table in Event #52: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship, to win his 2nd career WSOP bracelet and adds just under $300,000 to his $23million in live tournament earnings! Scott hasn't played many events this year but has managed a 2nd place as well as this victory so it has been a successful series for sure!
------
There were some big names on the final table of Event #53: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, with Daniel Negreanu, Eli Elezra and Mike Matusow all making the final 9 from the 935 entries, but they weren't able to stop Joey Couden from using his 2nd biggest chip stack at the start of the final day to win his first bracelet!
------
In a new addition to the schedule, Portugal's Diogo Veiga was able to take down Event #54: Big Blind Antes $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em for his countries first bracelet this summer, and third ever! A jubilant Portuguese rail saw Diogo continues his hot streak as he gets another $500,000+ win, following his final table finish in the partypoker Millions Grand Final Barcelona main event back in April
