Korey AldemirDay 45 of the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is in the books, and what a day of poker it was. The $10,000 buy-in Main Event saw its field whittled to a much more manageable 96, while the $888 Crazy Eights completed another of its starting flights.
The $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold’em/Pot-Limit Omaha event reached its final eight, with the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship completing its Day 1.
