A huge well done to Benjamin Dobson on outlasting this field and winning his first bracelet. It is tremendous to see a U.K winner at last and i hope to see a few more along the way
and again the new name of the owner of the bracelet ... recently something interesting happens .... constantly new players are winning the world series .... it's very good when new players are removed from the throne of the poker kings of the old winners .... it's interesting to watch it

No players that i know from reading information and watching videos but i think this event did play some big name players, so maybe it was just bad luck to them. Also congratulate to winner benjamin dibson

It's good that it happens and less known winners appear. It would be abnormal to see only famous winners. Until yesterday i only saw two players known throughout the poker world, who have arrived at final tables Doyle Brunson 6th and Daniel Negreanu 3rd positions. I think is very good and unknown names to win bracelets.

well form my personal memories I can say that stud hi/lo and Omaha hi/lo were and probably still are games I quite enjoy. stud hi/lo is really interesting game, especially if fixed limit is ditched and we go for pot limit or nl, pots get huge pretty quickly and you can already hold the nuts and there is still lots of money going into the pot
as far as I remember it's an interesting game ... I played different games when there were freerolls at PokerStars in different types of poker and it was possible to try different games without sacrificing the purse .... but now I'm probably so carried away by ordinary hold'em that other games are no longer interesting

The rules are easy, not only for this, but any of the poker games so far. It is not a rocket science The moment you read about the rules, you have got it already. The hard part is, to win with each variation of the game

Isnt obvious what im talking about. Im talking about the money being low for a first prize win, with a 1.5k USD buy in, in a wsop tournament. And i said above why i believe so.
Compare it with the event#19 which had 565 USD buy in and a first prize for 181k USD? Aint that low? A variable of course is the number of entrants
