Sechs Spieler hatten bei Event #85, dem $3.000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-max, in der vergangenen Nacht noch die Chance, die WSOP mit einem Paukenschlag zu beenden.
Für Joseph Cheong wurde es aber nichts mit dem zweiten Bracelet bei dieser WSOP. Als Shortstack schied er sehr schnell gegen den Griechen Evangelos Kokkalis aus, der es mit seinen schaffte, den starken Hongkong-Chinesen Ka Kwan Lau (der ebenfalls Asse hielt) gleich mit zu eliminieren.
Kokkalis hatte damit zum Führenden Millard Hale aufgeschlossen, der in der Folge immer mehr abbaute und sich schließlich mit Platz 4 begnügen musste.
Nach dem Aus von John Richards stand dem Bracelet für Griechenland nur noch Alan Sternberg im Weg.
Trotz klarer Führung gelang es Kokkalis aber nicht, seinen letzten Kontrahenten in die Knie zu zwingen. Stattdessen wendete sich das Blatt und Sternberg übernahm die Führung.
In der letzten Turnierhand gingen dann auf einem Flop mit alle Chips in die Mitte und Kokkalis hatte mit seinen gegen Sternbergs nicht nur ein Problem. Nach Turn und River mit und war das Turnier entschieden und Sternberg konnte jubeln.
Neben dem Bracelet erhielt der Amerikaner eine Siegprämie von fast $450.000, während sich Kokkalis mit $227.000 begnügen musste.
