stevebrogan · May 5, 2014

In Nevada, WSOP.com kicked off its weekend with seven major events including the Weekend Warm-Up $5,000 Guarantee and Re-Entry R&A $3,000 Guarantee on Saturday. WSOP.com had 478 runners vying for the 62 available prizes totaling $56,165. 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.

The player with the highest valued prize this weekend on WSOP.com was GrnSmoothieby winning the WSOP Main Event Qualifier for a $10,000 seat. This was only the third logged cash for GrnSmoothie, with the other two being an eighth place and 15th place finish in the Sunday $15,000 event.

The highest cash prize this weekend went to Guypiefor winning the Sunday $15,000 event and taking home $5,824, making it the third cash for him this year.

On Friday, papayawon the $3K event for $1,355 and, when added to his previous 16 cashes, brings his total earning this year to over $13,000. The Saturday Weekend-Warm-up was won by Ligerheart for $2,887 and is the first time we have seen him on the final tables.

The Saturday $3K Re-Entry event winner was none other than BShriever5for $1,050. This is the second time in a row that BShriever5 has won that event and he now has 28 cashes totaling $23,100 to date.

luckisrealtook down the Sunday Freezeout for $1,050 and is no stranger when it comes to cashing and winning events. With 25 cashes to date on WSOP.com, luckisreal has earned over $12,000 this year on that site.

Wrapping up the weekend on WSOP.com, we saw Who_is_Ivey take down the Sunday $3K event for $1,406. This is his second appearance this year. At the final table on Sunday night, Who_Is_Ivey was the short stack and heads-up with BShriever5. Who_is_Ivey jokingly asked BShriever5 for a chop, which is not allowed on WSOP.com, and then proceeded to get all of the chips in play for the win.

This weekend saw Ultimate Poker run three of the four scheduled events. The $2,500 Nightly event was changed to $2,000 and the $3,000 Sunday event was replaced with the Sunday $1,000 Kickoff. There were 157 runners fighting for the 18 prize spots available, totaling $15,915. The player with the highest individual cash was bansmanin the Sunday $10,000 for $2,500. That event had an overlay of $718, as the guarantee was not met. This was his eighth time cashing and he has won over $7,300 to date.
