Event #1 (Casino Employees NLHE) stretches into an unexpected Day 3; Event #2 ($25k Mixed Max NLHE) goes into 4-handed play on Day 3 with Al Decarolis leading in chips, and Vanessa Selbst 3rd in chip counts.

Today is also the start of Event #3; the WSOP's first ever $1k PLO is already making history, breaking the record to become the largest field ever for a non-Hold’em poker tournament.

Wow, I was watching this for the first 2 hours and it was like 1am or something and vanessa had just lost 3 hands or something 2 to bluffs and was down to 12BB to his 70bb or so. I was tired so went to sleep but thought it was all over and it's crazy to see she managed to come back from that to win!

Congrats!

I've read today's news post concerning Vanessa Selbst, and I feel a need to object to calling her 3rd bracelet a "record". I believe in gender equality, and thus that women in poker should not be held to different standards as men. Of course, even one WSOP bracelet is an incredible achievement for anyone, and a third bracelet is an excellent cementing of anyone in the list of poker's "greats", but on a gender-equal basis, it is not a record. It is, however, something that she should be and almost certainly is proud of.
