Scott Fitzhugh

After a player from late position opened for 1,600 and was called by the cutoff player, Scott "FitzPoker" Fitzhugh three-bet jammed for 14,775 from the button and got isolation from "Soupie" who four-bet to 32,000 from the small blind.

"Soupie": {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Scott "FitzPoker" Fitzhugh: {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

Fitzhugh was dominated and the {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} runout was no help ending his tournament.

WSOP Legend: 3-Time Poker Players Championship Winner Michael Mizrachi

Level 14 : 400/800, 100 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

The World Series of Poker $50,000 Poker Players Championship (PPC), which was created in 2006, is considered the tournament where the best of the best take on one another and duke it out in a variety of poker games, a reflection of all-around poker skill. Imagine playing the likes of Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth, and Daniel Negreanu five days in a row in a short-handed mixed format.

Needless to say, the hefty price tag coupled with a small, elite field created a legacy for the PPC where champions are considered among the greatest overall poker players. A quick glance at its 14-year history shows nothing but greatness among champions, from John Hennigan to Mike Gorodinsky, and with the late David "Chip" Reese as perhaps the event's most fitting inaugural winner back in 2006.

Winning once is the poker professional's dream. Winning two? You're in a league of your own. But winning the toughest event with poker's best three times? Only one man achieved that improbable feat on this day back in 2018, after winning his first two titles in 2010 and 2012: Michael Mizrachi.

Heather Alcorn
Heather Alcorn

Action on the table folded around to Heather "Blondy23" Alcorn who raised all in for 6,954 from the cutoff and was called by "JBJohnny" from the button.

"JBJohnny": {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Heather "Blondy23" Alcorn: {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop paired both players and Alcorn took the lead after the {6-Diamonds} appeared on the turn giving her two-pair.

The {9-Hearts} river was of no consequence for Alcorn as it secured her much-needed double.
