Top-notch players such as Phil Ivery , Chris Moorman, and Scott Seiver all came up just short of a World Series of Poker bracelet over the last week. The poker giants ran deep over the last few days, but were denied their next piece of hardware.
Another big headline saw New Jersey online poker grinder Dan Zack (pictured in lead image, courtesy WSOP.com) win his second bracelet of the series. “I first got into poker watching the WSOP on ESPN and always dreamed of playing these,” he told USPoker after his first win this summer. “As a result, even though I rarely play tournaments outside the WSOP, I’m always here each year chasing the dream of collecting these things, and so every bracelet win is precious.” That’s working out well so far.
