Notable InformationHawaii took center stage on Wednesday when Kainalu McCue-Unciano captured his first gold bracelet by winning the $1,500 NLHE Monster Stack tournament. He waded through a field of more than 6K players to win more than $1 million. The Las Vegas resident had a number of Hawaiian friends and family members on the rail to support his final table run. “I’ve got the best support behind me,” he said. “My girlfriend is always there when I need her. My friends are just as stoked as I am.” McCue-Unciano stayed focused and confident through the five days of action. “It’s just an unreal feeling. It’s only kicking in slowly. It’s a crazy feeling.” https://twitter.com/WSOP/status/1144080266228449281 The $1K NLHE Tag Team event also wrapped up on Wednesday with a team of three Israelis finishing on top. Team Geiger – comprised of Ohad Geiger, Daniel Dayan, and Barak Wisbrod – each won their first gold bracelet and a share of the $168,395. All three men are in their 20s and made their first trek to Las Vegas for the WSOP this year. Dayan called it “beyond amazing” and Wisbrod said it was a “dream come true.” Dayan added, “This isn’t about the money, it’s about the WSOP bracelet. It’s every poker player’s dream!” And Wisbrod also noted, “We are proud to represent Israel here.” https://twitter.com/WSOP/status/1144142823509200896
