By Lianne Elias

Kyle "kwob20" Bowker earned his second 2006 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) bracelet and title early this morning after winning Event 14, a Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo tournament. Bowker had previously won Event 5 of the 2006 WCOOP.

His two-event win marks the first time a player has won more than one bracelet during a WCOOP series in one year.

For his second win of 2006, Bowker, who is from the United States, beat an eight-player final table made up of two Americans, an Italian, a German, a Spaniard, a Norwegian and an Australian. He collected more than $68,000 for his efforts, bringing his total 2006 WCOOP winnings to more than $170,000.
