World Series of Parker · Event 3-3
Lee Ugarte Takes Out Half the Field, and Angela Cain Is Second Again
A third straight record pool, and a third different winner in three events.
Nine players and four rebuys made $510, past the record set two months ago and the first WSOP event to clear five hundred dollars. Lee Ugarte made six of the twelve eliminations and won $240.
It is his second WSOP win, five years after the H.O.R.S.E. event that closed the first series, and it is his best night in the format: he had played Omaha Hi/Lo three times here and never finished better than third.
Angela Cain was second for $145, matching the runner-up finish she took in the 2021 Big O event — and she made two knockouts, including the man who finished third.
Eric Denny rebought and took third for $125.

The undercard
Lance Cain rebought, made two knockouts and bubbled in fourth, one place behind his wife. Rick Mazza was fifth and Paul Coffman, second last time out, sixth.
Brian Connolly played his first WSOP event and finished eighth.
The bigger picture
Three events, three winners, and the pool has grown every time: $270, $470, $510. Fourteen rebuys have gone in across the three nights, which at $40 apiece is where most of that growth has come from.
Lee Ugarte jumps to the top of the table on 95.00 from two starts — he missed the opener — with Eric Denny second on 74.33 from three.
