Day 20 of the 2011 World Series of Poker saw three bracelets awarded in the $2,500 10-Game Mix event, the $1,000 Seniors Championship, and the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event. Both the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em event and the $10,000 Stud 8 or Better World Championship made the money while the latest $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em event packed the Rio with another field exceeding 3,000 players.
Event #29: $2,500 10-Game Mix
Three players returned on Sunday to play for the bracelet in the $2,500 10-Game Mix event. Chris Lee led with 1.425 million, followed by Brian Haveson with 997,000 and Travis Pearson with 813,000. On the second hand of play, Pearson was all-in during no-limit hold’em with pocket tens and facing the 
of Lee. An ace on the flop put Lee in the lead, and those aces held to to kick off heads-up play.
Lee led Haveson 2.28 million to 953,000 to at the start of heads-up action. Haveson quickly slipped to 275,000 before managing a couple of double-ups to stay alive. Those double-up failed to provide any real momentum and during 2-7 lowball, Haveson put the last of his approximately 400,000 stack in after the second draw. He held 


and was facing a pat 



. Haveson caught a king and Lee took the bracelet.
Chris “Genius28″ Lee won the first ever 10-Game Mix event bracelet and $254,955.
