In Event #9 Online legend Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy won his second WSOP Bracelet. Josephy is also one of the biggest stakers in the poker game -- half of "Bax and Sheets" fame. Event #9 was a $3000 No Limit Holdem Shoot Out with 477 entries. In Event #10 Chicago product Brent Wheeler beat a field of 645 players in this $1500 Limit Holdem match. Canada won another bracelet in Event #11 when Levi Berger won in the $2500 6 Max Holdem. Berger took down over $473K for the victory and defeated two-time bracelet winner Scott Clements heads-up for the win.
Through Friday's action (20 events) Canadians had won six gold WSOP bracelets.
Five-time WSOP bracelet winner Allen Cunningham was runner-up to Lev Rofman in Event #12, a $1500 Pot Limit Holdem event which fielded 535 entries Event #13 was a $5000 Seven Card Stud High Low event and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow won his fourth WSOP gold bracelet. Jonathan Taylor won Event #14 good for over $454,000 and 2007 WSOP Player of the Year Tom Schneider won his third WSOP bracelet in H.O.R.S.E. Event #15 defeating 862 players.
Canadian Mark Radoja won the $10K Heads-Up World Championship Event #16. In Event #17 Anthanasios Polychronopoulos won his second bracelet and twenty-four year old Tony Paur from California won Event #18 in his first WSOP cash ever. German Davidi Kitai won his second career bracelet in Event # 19 a $5000 Pot Limit Omaha event.
Event #20 was won by a player I have met and played versus years ago -- Calen McNeil
(right) from British Columbia. Calen is a funny guy, he won the sixth
bracelet by Canadians this year and McNeil is an absolute pleasure to be
around. Event #20 was a $1500 Omaha High Low Split that garnered a
field of 1014 entrants. Twenty-two year old Martin Finger from Austria won Six Handed No Limit Holdem Event # 21 and took home over $500K for the effort. Matt Stout was runner-up to Martin Finger.
