With most of the World Series of Poker in the books and the Main Event inside its final 90 players, it’s easy to forget that other events continue as well.

The main event in the World Series of Poker continued to ace out big names as the field was narrowed down over the weekend. By Saturday night there were only 135 players left, and by Sunday night that was down to the last 45 with famous players like last year’s champion Joseph Hachem, Daniel Negreanu, Josh Arieh and Phil Ivey all busted out.
