WSOP Days 24, 25 and 26

A few days off for me so a catch up:

Day 24 was a barren day for bracelets as none were awarded due to the $2.5k NL and $10k H.O.R.S.E running longer than scheduled.

However day 25 was a bumper day with three bracelets awarded. The first was to Mikhail Lakhitov who won Event #36: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em for a hefty $750k score.

Fabrice Soulier was a popular winner of Event #37: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship and the second bracelet winner of the day for $610k. Frenchman Soulier has been on the tournament circuit for over 10 years and has over $3.2m in live cashes. Tom “durrrr” Dwan also made the final table which interested many of the well known pros as they have bracelet bets (although clearly a lot of the FTP guys aren't around) but eventually busted in 5th place.

Mitch Schock took down the 3rd bracelet of the day in Event #39: $2,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em/Omaha. Huge early chip leader Tyler Patterson didn't last the day and Schock took the 2011 WSOP's only HA bracelet down along with $310k for his efforts.

On day 26 Arkadiy Tsinis took down Event #38: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em for his first bracelet and $540k. Tsinis adds to the growing list of first time bracelet winners this year.
