Day: 3
Event Info
Cash-game grinder and World Series of Poker killer Daniel Alaei won his fifth WSOP bracelet Wednesday, taking down the 2015 WSOP's Event #21: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Championship. Alaei bested a sparse field of 157 to take down the title, bracelet, and $391,097.
Wednesday's play began with 18 left and everyone in the money. As big names like Eli Elezra and Erik Seidel hit the rail, the final table of nine was set with two-time WSOP bracelet winner Scott Clements in the lead and Alaei closely in tow.
2012 November Niner Jeremy Ausmus was the first player out, with WPT Season XIII Player of the Year Anthony Zinno busting in sixth. Clements made it all the way to fourth before going out, and after Jeffrey Vaughn knotted his second Omaha hi-low cash this year, he busted third.
Alaei took on Kyle Miaso in heads-up play.
Miaso started heads-up with the lead and had 80 percent of the chips at one point, but Alaei mounted a comeback to move in front, and despite a strong fight from Miaso, won his second Omaha hi-low championship and fifth WSOP bracelet.
