Violette, Awad, Taylor, Rodawig, and Ospina Seek a Second Bracelet on the Final Day of Event #46

Only 15 remain in Event #46: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better and one-third of the remaining players are all bracelet holders. Among them are Cyndy Violette, Hani Awad, Eric Rodawig, Brendan Taylor and Daniel Ospina. Each of them is looking to add a multiple bracelet to their resume while the rest of their field seeks their first.

Violette is seeking her first bracelet since 2004 when she won the $2,000 seven-card stud high-low split for $135,900. Violette has a storied career at the WSOP dating back to 1987 where she notched her first cash in a ladies event. Today she could break the $1 million mark in WSOP earning with a finish of third or better in this event.

Hani Awad is looking for his second Omaha Hi-Lo/Stud Hi-Lo bracelet as he won this very same event back in 2016. Brendan Taylor is looking to add to an impressive World Series of Poker resume already. Making the final table of this event would put him up to eight over the course of his WSOP tenure. Eric Rodawig is also looking to add his second bracelet after winning Event #33: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship in 2011. Last year, Rodawig came 2nd in Event #30: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship, just narrowly missing out on his second bracelet, but he'll look for redemption and another chance for that second bracelet today.

Daniel Ospina earned his first bracelet earlier this summer in Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw. This event marks his third cash of the series and he'll look to become the first multiple bracelet winner this summer. Ospina sits with the third largest stack coming into the day and with another strong finish he could put himself in contention for Player of the Year.

Action resumes a 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 26th and kicks back off in level 21 with limits of 12,000 and 24,000. The plan is to play down to a winner and with just 15 players left in the tournament, this goal is likely to be reached. Currently, the remaining 15 placers are all guaranteed a payout of at least $7,074 for 15th place, but of course what they are all aiming for is the first place prize of $214,291. PokerNews will be here with coverage of this event from start to finish, so don't miss a thing.
