Bracelet UpdateIt has been a huge weekend for
Johnnie Craig, the 54 year old military veteran who has served numerous times in Iraq and Afghanistan and previously had less than $4000 in recorded live earnings, as he took down Event #27 $1000 Senior's No Limit Hold'em Championship for a huge $538,204! The event had an unscheduled 4th day added due to the record field of 4,499 entries which paid 675 players.
In other big news, it has been a huge summer so far for
Ian Johns, who already has his picture in this thread after winning Event #8 $1,500 HORSE on the 7th July for over $200,000, who has done it again, this time winning just short of $300,000 and his second bracelet this summer (his third overall) in Event #28 $10k Limit Hold'em Championship! This will be a summer to remember for him with over half of the events still to go!
Russia has picked up it's first bracelet of the summer, with
Viatcheslav Ortynskiy being the only non-American on the final table of Event #30 $3000 6-Max Pot Limit Omaha, who won it for $344,327 and his first bracelet after coming up short on a number of previous WSOP final tables.
