2010 World Series of Poker results


Below are the results for the 2010 World Series of Poker.

a Robert and Michael Mizrachi's appearance at the final table of the $50,000 Player's Championship is only the third time in WSOP history that two siblings faced each other at the final table of a WSOP event. Howard Lederer and Annie Duke both made it to the final table in 1998 in a Seven-Card Stud event and Ross and Barny Boatman made it to the final table in 2002 in a pot-limit Omaha event.

b While the event is called the "Ladies Championship" the WSOP cannot ban men from participating. In past years, a few men have played in the Ladies Championship, but in 2010 at least half a dozen and "some estimates on the floor are that the number of men who entered the event is in the double digits." WSOP Communications Director Seth Palansky called the men "scumbags" and declared, “The good news is at the World Series of Poker, we have the right to refuse service to anyone at any time at any point that we deem, as operators of the event.”

c David Warga became the first person to win the Casino Employees' Championship to win a second bracelet in an open event.

d With the big blind at $240,000, Matt Keikoan was heads up with Daniel Idema with only $300,000 in chips. He jokingly announced, “Greatest comeback in history right here,” before making a comeback to win the event.
