WSOP Day 13

It's day 13 already and the latest bracelet has been awarded in Event #17: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E to a man by the name of Aaron Steury. The 24 year old poker pro dropped out of university to play poker. Hopefully the bracelet and the $289,283 that go with it help justify that decision (plus he can always go back to school).

Event #21: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship had a starting field of just 126 with 91 of the players returning for day 2. Alexander Kostritsyn and Mike Sexton are among the early chip leaders in what promises to be another pro heavy final few tables.

Two more bracelets are due to be awarded tomorrow, one in Event #18: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em which, rather unsurprisingly, doesn't have any big name pros among the chip leaders at the end of day 2. The second will be awarded to the winner of
Event #19: $2,500 Limit Hold'em (6 handed). All eyes will be on Stephanie Nguyen who could become the first woman to win a WSOP bracelet in an open event for a few years. Sam Grizzle made a deep run in the event, proving that not only is he alive, but he's still able to find backers into $2.5k buy-in tournaments.
