  3. Tamir Segal Wins First Bracelet In Colossus At Wsop Europe

The first bracelet of the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe was awarded on Monday. Tamir Segal defeated Wojciech Wyrebski heads-up to win the €550 Colossus for his first career bracelet and €203,820 in prize money. Meanwhile, Shaun Deeb extended his lead in the WSOP Player of the Year race but fell short of the final table. Asi Moshe will take the chip lead into the final table of the €1,650 NL Six-Handed Deepstack and is looking for his second career bracelet.

Tamir Segal Takes WSOP Europe Colossus for First Bracelet Victory

The first bracelet of the 2018 WSOP-E was awarded in just four hours on Monday as the final table of the €550 Colossus played out. Wojciech Wyrebski came into the final table as chip leader and looked to take down the title. The last day of play started with the unofficial final table and Nelio Gatta was the unfortunate final table bubble boy, finishing in 10th place.

Wyrebski was the chip leader heading into the final day but it was Tamir Segal that ran the hottest. He eliminated six players at the final table to make heads-up play against Wyrebski. Seagal had more than a 3.5 to 1 chip lead at the start of heads-up play and it didn’t take long for him to put the game away.

In the final hand, Wyrebski was all-in with Ac-Qd against Kh-10h for Segal. A king on the flop and ten on the river were enough to give Segal his first WSOP bracelet victory.

Both players earned the largest paydays of their poker careers. Wyrebski earned €125,966 while Segal earned €203,820 and his first career bracelet.

Asi Moshe Leads Six-Max Deepstack Final Table

The other restart for Monday was Event #2, the €1,650 NL Six-Handed Deepstack event. All eyes were on Shaun Deeb who was looking to put a stranglehold on WSOP Player of the Year with a super deep run. Deeb played well, but the four-time WSOP bracelet winner only managed an 11th place finish. The €4,640 prize was less important than the POY points picked up in the event.

Heading to the dinner break on Monday, all eyes then turned to Maria Lampropulos who was the short stack. Unfortunately, she didn’t fare well after dinner, running A-J into pocket tens to bust in eighth place. Milad Oghabian was the final table bubble boy after running K-Q into the pocket jacks of James Bullimore.

This set up a final table with two players holding the majority of the chips. Prior bracelet winner Asi Moshe is the overall chip leader heading into the final table with 2.09 million. Right behind him is UK player James Bullimore with 1.82 million. Bullimore actually busted in the first 15 minutes of Day 1 but re-entered and has rode that re-entry all the way to the final table. The final six will return on Tuesday to play for the second bracelet of the series along with €82,280 in prize money.

Meanwhile, Day 1a of the €550 PLO 8-Handed commended on Monday and drew a solid field of 230 players. By the end of the day, only 21 players remained including three-time bracelet winner Dutch Boyd and 2017 WSOP Player of the Year Chris Ferguson.

There will be no new events starting on Tuesday. Instead, the second flight of the €550 PLO will kick off. The next bracelet event will kick off on Wednesday with the €1,100 Monster Stack. So far, there’s been little to celebrate outside of Shaun Deeb’s run in Event #2, but that is certain to change as some of the larger events kick off in the coming days.
