Notable Information
In Event 11, Daniel Strelitz collected his first WSOP gold bracelet in the $5K NLHE event. He said he ran well at the final table, and the win felt good, especially considering he had come close in the past and had been disappointed that he hadn’t won. This gave him a sense of relief.
“It’s awesome. My parents are my biggest fans,” he said of their attendance at the tournament. “All my friends have bracelets, and they have been needling me about the bracelet winners’ event this year … So, they don’t get to needle me anymore.”

Another player with multiple past final table appearances, Yuval Bronshtein, captured his first gold as well, his in the NL 2-7 Lowball Draw tournament. He considered this variation to be the purest form of poker, and he had fun coming back from a short stack to win.
“I’m just overflowing with happiness right now,” he said. “I have had a rough year. So, this is really good. The bad things that have happened to me have made me stronger, and I’m really happy.”
