In Nevada, WSOP.comkicked off its weekend with seven major events including the Weekend Warm-Up $5,000 Guarantee and Re-Entry R&A $3,000 Guarantee. WSOP.com had 414 runners vying for the 54 available prizes, totaling $40,075. One of the events was a $215 buy-in with the top prize of an entry to the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event worth $10,000. It was won by zOMGBobChowand is the first time we have seen this player on a final table.

The player with the highest individual cash this weekend on WSOP.com was PocketFives’ own CindrllaMan (pictured) in the Sunday $15,000 event. He is no stranger to being at final tables, having won four events outright and cashing in 10 other events.

Starting the WSOP.com weekend, papayawon Friday’s $3K event for $1,438. It was his fifth win in that tournament. With over $11,750 in winnings, papaya is often seen in the lower guarantee events, cashing in 15 events with three wins outright.

The winner of the Weekly Warm-Up was johnjh1, taking home $2,000 for his efforts. An interesting fact about this player is that most of the times we’ve seen results for him, it is when he has won events outright. He has five wins to go along with a fifth place cash.

Other players of note included BShriever5, who won the $3K Re-Entry event on Saturday for $930. This is the 22nd cash for him this year, bringing his total to almost $20,000. Kody10 took down the Sunday $3K for $1,319, bringing his year-to-date total for 11 cashes to $5,250.

This weekend, Ultimate Poker ran five major events. There were 214 runners fighting for the 35 prize spots available, totaling $21,736.

Kristin also won the Saturday $2.5K for $1,073. With 30 cashes and four first place finishes, Kristin has won over $18,000 this year.

Maddogjimwon Friday’s $2.5K event for $1,228, giving him a total of six cashes for $3,500. Sunday’s $3,000 event was won by anonymous for $1,500, giving him two wins in eight final tables for over $5,000 to date.

PocketFives member and Ultimate Poker pro Phil USCphildo Collins won the Sunday $2.5K, bringing his total cashes to 32 and his total winnings to over $21,000.
