Is tikay playing in the super seniors?

[kp24]

Southampton's Benny Glaser won event 26 for $244,000 beating 933 others to the win

the first British bracelet of 2016

This is Benny's second bracelet, he won the $1500 2-7 Triple draw event 33 last year for $155,000

Well played, images follow

Brilliant well played more Brit bracelets to come 😃

Event #31: $1000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold'em

attracted 1476 entries, with 221 left as of now

not a single Brit in the 221

which is frankly disappointing, where have all the over 65 Brits in Vegas gone?

[TightEnd]

the latest championship event began overnight

Event #32: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better Championship

87 of 163 remain

a few sweats here given the seven figure sum swing if Mercier wins a third bracelet and the relatively small field...he is currently listed 57/87


Richard Ashby is listed in 5th

Benny Glaser going well again, in 14th

Stephen Chidwick 45th

Matthew Ashton looks to have been the only other British entry and he was out early
