Without further ado, let's get straight to the point and get right to the fresh winner in the $1,500 buy-in Dealer's Choice (6-Handed) tournament. This one brought in a prizepool worth $707,550 thanks to 530 entries. A bracelet and $138,296 in prize money awaited the winner.

The final 10 players made it to the final table and it took more than 6 hours to know the winner. The finalists included Shaun Deeb, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom and Poker Hall of Fame member John Hennigan.

Shaun Deeb finished in 8th place here with a prize of $11,422, and Hennigan and Blom also sat at the final table. Blom battled his way to a fourth-place finish that netted him $41,237. Hungarian player Peter Gelencser followed him to the cash, taking home $60,343 for third place, and Hennigen took on Robert Wells in heads-up play.

Mixed game legend John Hennigan handled his opponent handily in a short heads-up match to take home his seventh gold bracelet, which he also bagged $138,296. Robert Wells earned $90,339 for his second place finish.

Heads-Up NLH Championship

The $25,000 buy-in Heads-Up NLH Championship is now behind us, with a maximum of 64 players allowed to play, and that's exactly how many played it. The prizepool was thus worth $1,504,000 and $500,000 awaited the winner.

Top 16:

The top 8 players made it to the final table, where they were all already assured of at least $86,000. Among them were players like John Smith, Artur Martirosian and Faraz Jaka. Of these, only Faraz Jaka made it to the last heads-up match against Darius Samual. It was Darius who defeated Jaka in the end, taking home $500,000 and the gold champions bracelet. But Samual was taking a big risk here, as he had put half of his entire bankroll into the tournament. Faraz Jaka took home $300,000 for his second place finish.

New Scandal

From the winnings we now move on to a bit of controversy. This one was brought up on Twitter (x) by James Chen, who took a picture of a player sitting next to him during Fligh 1A of the Mystery Millions tournament, looking at the GTO Wizard. Chen said he saw the player first divide his stack by the number of blinds in his calculator and then open the GTO Wizard he was entering. However, at that point Chen confronted him and took a picture. The player protested that he hadn't done anything yet, to which Chen responded that it was only because he caught him. The player then said that he just wanted to check his subscription because he wanted to forward it to his friend, and that he was a professional so he didn't need any spreadsheets and knew all the ranges. Later, however, Chen went all-in from SB on his BB, covering him, and the player reportedly thought for a long time whether to call. Subsequently, the floorman was called, who warned the player that he would be penalized in the future.

As has become customary, a wave of differing opinions broke out. Someone praised Chen and someone pointed out that the rules state that a player can view the GTO outside of the handicap. The other thing is also that GTO Wizard is a sponsor of the WSOP. So players are calling on the organizers to clearly set the rules so that such apps cannot be used in live tournaments. What do you think about this?
