Israeli Ravid Garbi ghosted through a patchwork quilt of superstars to claim the bracelet in Event #58: $5,000 No Limit Hold’em 6-Handed Championship at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online Series on GGPoker. Garbi topped a 672-entrant field to claim the $531,513 first prize, an unbelievable score for a man whose online and live poker antics remain invisible to the naked eye.
What a final table.
Hun Wei Lim came into this one on the back of winning Event #37: $1,050 Pot Limit Omaha Bounty. Lim finished eighth. Mikita Badziakouski is one of the best No Limit Hold’em players in the world, and the Belarusian finished seventh. Ludovic Geilich made his second WSOP final table of his career. The Scotsman finished seventh in the 2016 $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha High Roller and claimed a fifth in this one. Preben Stokkan is an online star who finished 21st in the WSOP Main Event last year. Stokkan finished third.
Then you have Chris Moorman.
The British-pro, now based in Las Vegas, has a litany of near-misses to go with the bracelet he won in 2017 when he took down the $3,000 No Limit Hold’em Six-Handed title. His second-place finish to Garbi is his third, finishing runner-up to Joe Ebanks in the $10,000 No Limit Hold’em Championship and then Elio Fox in the World Series of Poker Main Europe (WSOPE) both in 2011. Most recently, Moorman finished 4/1137 in the $500 Pot Limit Omaha 6-Handed bracelet event on WSOP.com.
But Moorman didn’t win the bracelet, and neither did Badziakouski, Stokkan, Geilich or Lee – Garbi did, only I don’t know anything about the fella, so I can’t wax lyrical about him 🙁
Here are the final table results.
