Weisman's first bracelet came back in 2021, winning Event #28: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha for $166,461. He now adds his second in the format.
“Surreal is a good word,” Weisman said explaining how it felt to win his second bracelet. “It’s very unique when you win a tournament. It usually takes a day or two to have it sink in, but I feel a lot of gratitude.”
Andreas Zampas was eliminated in ninth after a significant cooler against Weisman left him short-stacked; his full house was outmatched by Weisman's straight flush, leading to his rapid elimination a few hands later.
Following Zampas, Leslie Roussell exited the tournament in 8th place after committing his remaining chips pre-flop with pocket queens, which failed to overcome Weisman's pocket kings.
Abdul Al-Magableh managed his short stack diligently for an extended period before committing with pocket aces. However, he was ultimately eliminated in seventh place when the aces were cracked by Weisman's Broadway.
Jhojan Rivera faced several setbacks on Day 2, but Day 3 initially appeared promising. Unfortunately, he found himself short-stacked once again and ultimately lost an all-in preflop against Rheem, to be eliminated in sixth place.
John Zable was short when he reached the final table and managed to ladder as others fell around him. Once Rivera was eliminated, he inherited the title of short stack, and he got his remaining stack in the middle with pocket kings, only to run into the aces of Zolotow, sending him home in fifth place.
Weisman was joined by friends and family on the rail as he claimed his victory, and says he's going to celebrate by being well rested and possibly taking a hike in the morning before continuing to grind the 2024 WSOP.
