2022 WSOP Day 11: Three New Bracelet Winners Crowned, "ElkY" and Ivey Lead $10K Stud
June 10, the 11th day of the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas, saw three pieces of hardware being handed out to their new respective owners. Daniel Zack was playing on the Main Stage all day, claiming the coveted prize in Event #15: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship after a seven-hour (!) heads-up onslaught with Dustin Dirksen.
Chicagoan Bryan Schultz topped the incredibly popular Event #18: $1,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em that drew a bumper field of 2,663 hopefuls. Long Beach, NY's Dominick Sarle joined the winner's circle by showcasing his poker prowess in the Mixed Triple Draw Lowball.

David Miscikowski Leads Final Nine in Event #16: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em
Just nine players remain in Event #16: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em, with three former bracelet winners still in contention.
Leading the way is David Miscikowski, who won his first WSOP bracelet in 2014 and will be in pole position to add another when play resumes at 12 p.m. on Saturday, June 11.
Other bracelet winners still alive are Davide Suriano and Joey Weissman. Suriano won his bracelet the same year as Miscikowski, but for Weissman, it will be just under 10 years since he grabbed a bracelet back in 2012.
Miscicowski's chip lead will surely get some people in the poker world talking after being named as an alleged cheater in the Bryn Kenney cheating allegations by Martin Zamani.

Day 1 of the third championship event of the 2022 WSOP, Event #22: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship has ended after ten 60-minute levels of play.
