Weekend’s highlights:

* England’s Phillip McAllister, 22, won the $3,000 buy-in Shootout No-limit Hold ’em event ($267,720) to earn his first career bracelet. Prior to the victory Sunday night, McAllister was best known as the player who made a royal flush at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event in January on the way to a third-place finish. Video of that hand has been viewed on YouTube nearly two million times.

* Australian Martin Kozlov won the $10,000 buy-in Six-handed No-limit Hold ’em Championship ($665,709) on Saturday, topping a star-studded final table for his first career bracelet. Kozlov capped the victory in memorable fashion during three-handed play as he flopped quad queens to knock out Bonomo and three-time bracelet winner Davidi Kitai of Belgium. Chris “Jesus” Ferguson finished in fourth place, his sixth in-the-money finish at this summer’s WSOP. Ferguson’s presence at the final table made for a raucous atmosphere, and he was greeted with a few obscenities from the crowd after being eliminated.

* Professional poker player Christopher Vitch, 33, won the $2,500 buy-in Limit Mixed Triple Draw Lowball event ($136,854) on Saturday. It is the first career bracelet for the Phoenix resident, who is regarded as one of the top Draw Lowball cash-game players.

* Spain’s Adrian Mateos, 21, won the $1,500 buy-in “Summer Solstice” No-limit Hold ’em event ($409,171) on Friday. The professional poker player, who also took down the 2013 WSOP Europe Main Event at age 19, now has more than $1.8 million in career WSOP earnings.

* Rafael Lebron of Puyallup, Washington, won the $3,000 buy-in Six-handed Limit Hold ’em event ($169,337) on Friday. The 33-year-old professional poker player, who finished second in the $3,000 buy-in Six-Handed Pot-Limit Omaha last week, started the final table with the short stack and overcame difficult opposition including 2015 Main Event winner Joe McKeehen (fourth place) and Limit Hold’em specialist Matt Matros (fifth place).

* Jiaqi Xu, a 50-year-old businessman and recreational poker player from Columbia, Maryland, won his first career bracelet Friday in the the $1,500 buy-in Pot-limit Omaha event ($212,128).

Quotable:

“I’ve read a lot of things over the years about ‘the best player never to have won a gold bracelet.’ I’m sure there are many players in that category who are deserving. But I always thought I belonged in that conversation. So now, to get the gold bracelet, it justifies that level of confidence and what I was thinking.” — Vitch, who finished third in the $1,500 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. event this year and had a second-place finish at the 2015 WSOP.
