Adam Friedman

The number 13 is considered unlucky in some cultures but not to Adam Friedman, Tong Li, or Brian Altman because all three star managed to win bracelets on Day 13 of the 2022 World Series of Poker at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.

Adam Friedman secured the fifth bracelet of his career after taking down Event #22: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship. Friedman sat down at the final table as the chip leader and built on that start to become a WSOP champion for the fifth time in his illustrious career. The victory came with $284,254 but Friedman was happier with the fact he'd won a title in his favorite poker variant.

Event #19: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha saw Tong Li come out on top and reel in a $1,467,739 top prize in addition to his first WSOP bracelet. Li's victory meant Josh Arieh's wait for a fifth WSOP title continues a little longer; Arieh was the third-place finisher. Li of Shanghai, China, said it was a dream to win a WSOP bracelet and that he never expected to become this event's champion.

There was also a maiden bracelet for Brian Altman in the $400 No-Limit Hold'em Ultra Deepstack, part of the online poker bracelet schedule. Altman, playing as "JackBogle," outlasted 1,640 opponents to bank $110,662 and that all-important gold bracelet.

A whopping 4,062 players bought into Event #25: $800 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack and created a $2,859,648 prize pool. However, only 240 of those players still had chips in front of them when the curtain came down on the day's action.

Ahmed Nimer finished Day 1 of this event with 2,385,000 chips, the only player to break through the two-million barrier. Alexander Tafesh (1,915,000) and Zachary Andrews (1,830,000) came close to catching Nimer but will have to wait on Day 2 to overtake him.

Marco Johnson is looking for this third career bracelet in Event #26: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship, which saw 74 players reduced to 29 on Day 1.

Plenty of stellar names progressed to Day 2, including Joey Couden (255,000), Robert Campbell (24,000), Yuval Bronshtein (188,000), Brian Rast (134,000), and Anthony Zinno (93,000).

One player who won't becoming this event's champion is the PokerStars Ambassador Neymar. The Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil star bought in, splashed around in plenty of pots, ran up a decent stack, but then fell by the wayside. No doubt we'll see Neymar again before the series finishes.

Day 2 kicks off at 2:00 p.m. on June 13 with late registration open until the day begins.
