2021 WSOP Day 45: Aldemir Claims Main Event Chip Lead

Day 45 of the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is in the books, and what a day of poker it was. The $10,000 buy-in Main Event saw its field whittled to a much more manageable 96, while the $888 Crazy Eights completed another of its starting flights.

The $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold’em/Pot-Limit Omaha event reached its final eight, with the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship completing its Day 1.

Two more players became WSOP bracelet winners. Scott Ball was crowned the champion of Event #68: $1,111 Little One for One Drop, while Mourad Amokrane walked away with the top prize and gold bracelet from Event #71: $1,500 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha.
