The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online Series has managed to ingratiate herself into our lives solidly for the past few weeks, but there is barely any air left in those hefty lungs of hers.
Two more bracelet wins to bring you up to speed on before she croaks, and we begin with a second sliver of gold for Nick ‘samadhi’ Binger. The poker coach won his first bracelet in 2011 after ousting 352-entrants over the rail in a $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo encounter.
Binger had to beat another bracelet winner, heads-up, to bag his brace. Ryan “Adopt_aDogg0” Leng won a 1,983-entrant $1,500 No Limit Hold’em Bounty event in 2018 for $272,765.
A third star shone brightly in this event with Matt ‘Berkey11_S4Y’ Berkey finishing seventh.
Nicholas ‘mrfinalt’ Kiley is the other bracelet winner after making fastidious work of the 2,155-entrant field in Event #25: $500 No Limit Hold’em Summer Saver. Kiley beat Guo Liang ‘Ct188’ Chen, heads-up, for the title, Berkey made his second final table appearance in the same number of days, finishing in the fifth position.
