Danzer Makes Day 3 of PLO8; Selbst Bags Short
Last year's World Series of Poker Player of the Year, German star George Danzer, has had a less-than-stellar summer with just two cashes – though they were both in 10K events – and zero final tables.
He's looking to turn that around in a hurry and grab his fourth career bracelet in Event #49: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low, where he bagged 612,000, good for third place behind Galen Hall (776,000) and Connor Drinan (635,000).
In total, 21 players advanced to Day 3, including Alex Dovzhenko (400,000), Erik Seidel (338,000), and Vanessa Selbst (88,000).
Seidel found a late double when he limped and called a raise from Shiva Dudani then got it in on a ![]()

. Seidel turned the nut flush.
The tournament hit the money on Day 2, with Eric Baldwin (27th), “Miami” John Cernuto (29th), Chris Bjorin (37th), and John Monnette (44th) among the players busting in the top 90 and getting paid.
Play resumes at Level 21 (6,000/12,000) at 1 p.m. on Friday.
