WSOP Bracelet Ryan “Santasbzack2” Stoker of Washington won his first World Series of Poker bracelet early Monday morning by taking down WSOP.com (NV/NJ) Online Bracelet $888 PLO Crazy 8’s 8-Max [3x Re-entry] for a score worth $95,338 . Stoker had to get through a field of 295 entrants before defeating Tony “tonisinz” Sinishtaj during a heads-up battle that finished in under 30 minutes.
The tournament generated a prize pool of $417,600 and it took over 11 hours for a winner to emerge. Stoker entered the eight-handed final table fifth in chips and was able to chip up by knocking out Edward “eddiegood598” Espino , who finished in seventh when his two pair was no good against the set of the eventual champion.
