Congratulations to the Bracelet winners, especially Eric Froehlich who claimed his second Bracelet at the tender age of 22. Well played to Roland de Wolfe and Julian Gardner taking substantial paydays for respective third places.

Good luck also to Padraig Parkinson who is, at the time of writing, due at the final table of Event # 27, the $1,500 No Limit Texas Hold’em with a huge 2,126 field. Great play to make the final 9 and a good payday assured. Padraig currently has the seventh highest amount of chips but is not especially short-stacked. It can be done!
