Jeremy Ausmus Chalks Up Poker Masters Victory Right After WSOP Online Bracelet Win
The high stakes action has reached the halfway point in the Poker Masters, streamed live on PokerGO from Las Vegas. Jeremy Ausmus continues to shine, adding another high roller title, fresh off winning his fifth World Series of Poker bracelet in the WSOP Online.
Some other big names also found the winner’s circle in the first week of action including Adam Hendrix and Ethan Yau. The Series continues in the coming days with all final tables streamed live on PokerGO. Here’s a look at some of the winners so far.
Event 5: $10,000 Eight-Game Mix
Nick Guagenti found the biggest live tournament score of his career after becoming the latest series winner on Tuesday. He scored the title in the mixed-game action for $186,000.
Guagenti topped a field of 62 that produced a $62,000 prize pool. Cary Katz took runner-up for $124,000.
Adding the title certainly wasn’t easy for Guagenti. Katz held an 8-1 chip advantage going into heads-up play. But Guagenti completed the comeback for his first Poker Masters title.
Event 4: $10,000 No Limit Hold’em
The Hold’em action returned to the PokerGO Studio and Adam Hendrix was crowned champion. The tournament saw 74 entries for a $740,000 prize pool and Hendrix pocketed $192,400 for the win. Coming into the final table as chip leader, he rode that to the title.
Nate Silver, founder and editor of the FiveThirtyEight statistical analysis website, finished runner-up for $140,600. Canada’s Xuan Liu took third for $96,200.
Hendrix gave some credit to Silver for running this massive bluff during heads-up play.
The dirty diaper is in play as @NateSilver538 puts @AdamHendrix10 to the test for all his chips.
The bluff gets through and the heads-up battle continues with nearly even stacks.

Event 3: $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha
Ronald Keijzer, of the Netherlands, came out on top in the Omaha action for a payday of $202,500. A regular PLO player, he scored the second-largest live tournament score of his career.
Keijzer held a nice chip lead entering the final table and didn’t relinquish that. Ben Lamb finished runner-up for $145,800 with Alex Livingston in third for $97,200. The event drew 81 entries for an $810,000 prize pool.
Daniel Negreanu found the chip lead late in the event, but a quick bad run of cards sent him to the rail.

However, Yau’s pocket eights ultimately held up against Foxen’s Ace-King on the final hand. Foxen earned a payday of $144,400for second place. Stephen Song took third for $98,800.
