Day 2 Live Updates

Ten bracelets for JOHNNY CHAN!!

7 years ago

Johnny Chan is the champion of the $2,500 Pot Limit Hold'em event, and what a champion he is! The Orient Express has earned himself a 10th WSOP bracelet with this win, a monumental and record-breaking feat. He is the only player to have ever earned a 10th bracelet, beating out top competitors Phil Hellmuth and Doyle Brunson. 

Here's how it went down: The money went in pre-flop. Chan turned up Q♠ Q♥ and the Unabomber turned up K♦ J♥. The board came J♣ 5♥ 5♣ 10♦ 10♥ with no luck for the Unabomber. Chan wins!
