Ricardo "2dahmoon" Alvarado: 
Zachary "Lovepuddle" Schwartz:

flop but then disaster struck when the 
spiked on the river to pair Schwartz. The 
river was of no consequence and Alvarado bowed out in 67th place for $1,149.98.

Michael "miw210x" Wang: 
Ray "marriedamilf" Medlin: 
Medlin woke up with aces and was way ahead of Wang until the 
flop appeared giving him trip eights.

Wes "RocRoller17" Pantling raised to 40,000 from the hijack only to have Joel "Godzilla" Frank three-bet to 306,572 from the cutoff, leaving himself just 20,000 back. Action folded back to Pantling and he just called before betting 20,000 on the 
flop. Frank called off and discovered the bad news.
Wes "RocRoller17" Pantling : 
Joel "Godzilla" Frank: 
Frank had a gutshot straight draw, which he needed to hit in order to overcome Pantling's set of fours. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Frank and he hit the rail in 56th place for $1,359.07.

The World Series of Poker $50,000 Poker Players Championship (PPC), which was created in 2006, is considered the tournament where the best of the best take on one another and duke it out in a variety of poker games, a reflection of all-around poker skill. Imagine playing the likes of Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth, and Daniel Negreanu five days in a row in a short-handed mixed format.
Needless to say, the hefty price tag coupled with a small, elite field created a legacy for the PPC where champions are considered among the greatest overall poker players. A quick glance at its 14-year history shows nothing but greatness among champions, from John Hennigan to Mike Gorodinsky, and with the late David "Chip" Reese as perhaps the event's most fitting inaugural winner back in 2006.
Winning once is the poker professional's dream. Winning two? You're in a league of your own. But winning the toughest event with poker's best three times? Only one man achieved that improbable feat on this day back in 2018, after winning his first two titles in 2010 and 2012: Michael Mizrachi.

Robert "bustinballs" Kuhn open-jammed for 286,244 from early position and was called by "mikeob81" from the hijack.
"mikeob81": 
Robert "bustinballs" Kuhn:
Kuhn was ahead with his made hand but had a sweat after the 
flop that gave "mikeob81" a broadway draw.
The sweat didn't last long as the turn completed broadway for "mikeob81" and the 
river eliminated Kuhn from the tournament.
