Pros continue to scoop the bracelets

(June 18)

It seems to be all about the pros this year at the World Series. John Phan is the latest pro to win his first World Series bracelet by taking down event number 29, the $3000 no-limit holdʼem event. Erick Lindgren, Daniel Negreanu and David Singer are two other pros that have both had successful tournaments and walked away with their first bracelets. Phan was by no means the chip leader on the final table, but managed to outlast the other players to eventually take on Johnny Neckar in a heads up fight.

The pair battled on for 6 hours, and eventually agreed to play their hands all-in, BLIND! A brave move to say the least! The first blind hand that was played saw Neckar double through on Phan. The players agreed to do it twice more, both times it was Phan who took down the pots, giving him a substantial chip lead. Play eventually went back to normal, but with Phanʼs massive advantage, it didnʼt take long for him to eventually defeat Necker. It would have been very exciting to watch, just proving that poker really is an exciting spectator sport!

Phan took away the first prize of $434,789 with Neckar walking away with a slightly more modest, but nonetheless handsome $277,452.
