Michael Rocco Leads 2023 Poker Masters Event #3 Final Table
The World Series of Poker Main Event is in full swing on Day 1C, but there are still winners to celebrate from the preliminary events that wrapped up in the past few days. In this edition of Remko on the Rail we get you caught up with the four latest winners, as big names added some gold jewelry to their collecting.
One of poker’s greatest talents and most successful cash gamers shows up for a few events per year, and he keeps his batting average high by notching up a few results every now and then. Just a few days ago, that man who goes by the name Phil Galfond, he took down the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Eight-or-Better event for a whopping $567,788.
Prior to cashing the $565 online Pot Limit Omaha event earlier during the WSOP, Galfond had not cashed an event since 2015 when he won a bracelet in the $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw Championship for $224,383.
Kornuth defeated a field of 480 entries and dealt with the likes of Noah Bronstein, Taylor Black and Justin Liberto at the final table. Playing under the handle ‘BingShui’, Kornuth raked in the 14th six-figure score of his live poker career, and his third largest result at the WSOP. Kornuth’s first bracelet win came in the 2010 $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha when he beat Kevin Boudreau heads up.

Scott Bohlman was one of the players with the most cashes at the World Series of Poker without a bracelet win, but he changed that by winning the $2,500 Big Bet Mix a few weeks ago. Bohlman almost added another win, but it was Dan Matsuzuki who beat him heads up in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Eight-or-Better Split event.
After winning the event, Matsuzuki told reporters how he entered the tournament as a “gamble” on Day 2, hoping for the variance to be in his favor. In what is just his sixth ever live tournament result, all of which were recorded at the WSOP, Matsuzukui took home by far and away the largest score of his career with $364,387.

Lastly, there’s another online bracelet winner to be celebrated. The $1,000 Online Championship drew a total of 1,635 entries, creating a prize pool of more than $1.5 million, with 180 places getting paid.
The winner of the tournament is one of the most under-the-radar players with two seven-figure scores in Ryan Tosoc. After finishing second in the 2016 WPT Five Diamond Classic for $1,124,051, he followed that up with a win in the exact same event this past December for $1,958,065. These two big scores put Tosoc on the map, and he added even more flair to his HendonMob profile by winning the $1,000 Online Championship bracelet for $238,779 last week.
