Weekend’s highlights:

* Las Vegas resident Andrew Lichtenberger won the $3,000 buy-in No-limit Hold’em event ($569,158) on Sunday. It was the first career bracelet for the 28-year-old professional poker player known as “Lucky Chewy” after several near misses and brings his lifetime WSOP and circuit earnings to more than $3 million.

* Professional poker player Allan Le won the $1,500 buy-in Mixed Pot-limit Omaha/8; Omaha Hi-Low/8; “Big O” event ($189,223) on Sunday. The 30-year-old resident of Huntington Beach, California, is the younger brother of well-known poker pros Nam Le and Tommy Le and the first of the three to earn a WSOP bracelet.

* Brandon Shack-Harris, a professional poker player from Chicago, won the $10,000 Pot-limit Omaha Eight-handed Championship ($894,300) on Saturday. Both of Shack-Harris’ bracelets have come in Pot-limit Omaha, and the runner-up in the 2014 WSOP Player of the Year standings now has more than $2.6 million in career WSOP winnings.

* Safiya Umerova, 28, won the $1,500 Shootout No-limit Hold ’em event ($264,046) on Friday, becoming the second woman to win an open bracelet event at this summer’s WSOP. Umerova, who emigrated from Russia six years ago, had been a small-stakes cash game player in Los Angeles until recently turning to tournament poker.

Quotable:

“Loren’s a special guy, just as I feel I am, in that we both play a fairly unorthodox style. We play some street PLO, and street recognizes street.” — Shack-Harris, on overcoming Loren Klein during heads-up play in the $10,000 Pot-limit Omaha Eight-handed Championship.
