WSOP 2024 Day 17 – Bracelets Galore as WSOP Action Heats Up

The biggest headline of the day rightfully belonged to Phil Ivey, but day 17 at the World Series of Poker produced plenty more action – Nicholas Seward, Richard Ashby and Alex Manzano all bagging gold bracelets.

Phil Ivey was the main attraction, of course, and he didn’t disappoint, taking down event #29, the $10k Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship for an historic 11th WSOP gold.

That edges him ahead of Doyle Brunson and brings him one closer to his great rival, Phil Hellmuth, sitting atop the history books with 17 bracelets. Read about Ivey’s big win below.

Ivy’s victory wasn’t the biggest payday of day 17 at the Horseshoe and Paris Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. That belonged to Nicholas Seward who scooped $516,135 to go with his maiden WSOP win.

Event #31: $3,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em

Six players survived from a starting field of 1230 to contest day 3 for the lion’s share of the $3,284,100 prizepool, led by David Coleman.

It would be Seward, however, who made the early running, ousting Nicholas Buell with jacks against 4s while Coleman doubled up both Akinobu Maeda and Nikolaos Angelou. Coleman felled the latter but was KO’d himself in 4th spot by close friend Seward.

When Maeda’s KJ ran into Seward’s AJ it was heads-up, a fast and torrid final table leaving Konstantyn Holskyi and Seward playing for the bracelet. It was Seward’s new favourite hand that eventually got him there, all the chips going in on the flop…

Konstantyn Holskyi: K♠ 10♥

Nicholas Seward: J♠ 10♠

Flop: 10♦ 9♥ 2♦

Turn: Q♥

River: K♣

Event #32: $1500 Seven Card Stud

It was a UK one-two in the $1500 Seven Card Stud, with Richard Ashby and Richard Owen battling it out for gold after outlasting a field of 406 players.

The final table saw previous bracelet winners Brandon Shack-Harris and 2021 Monster Stack victor Michael Noori fall short, the latter in third spot. That meant the Brits could battle it out for gold and, if it had been a 10 year wait for Phil  Ivey, it was even longer for Richard Ashby – having won the exact same event back in 2010.

Adam Owen: Q♠ J♠ / 7♣ J♥ 8♦ 5♣ / 9♠

Richard Ashby: A♠ 10♣ / A♣ 10♥ 6♠ 4♣ / K♠

The action kicked in when Ashby check-raised on 5th street and a 6th street bet got the last of Owen’s chips in the middle, the river no help meaning Ashby had bagged gold again and a $113,725 payout.

Event #33: $600 Pot-Limit Omaha DeepStack (8-Handed)

The fourth bracelet of an incredibly busy day went to Alex Manzano, the Chilean revisiting the tournament that started his professional career some twenty years earlier.

A field of 2402 had  been reduced to just 95 after day 1 and by the time they reached the final table it was Robert Gill who held the chip lead, quickly busting Vatan and Nazarenko.

Manzano then did his share of the hard work and finally the duo met heads-up for the bracelet, Gill’s lead pulled back and the final hand playing out below:

Robert Gill: Q♦ J♦ 7♥ 4♣

Alex Manzano: A♥ 9♣ 8♠ 3♥

Manzano’s button raise was called…

Flop: 7♣ 6♥ 2♠

…. and Gill shoved close to pot on the flop. However, the runout was unfavourable to say the least…

Turn: A♦

River: 9♠

That was enough to crown Manzano champion and land him a second-best career cash.
