WSOP 2011: Elie Payan and John Monnette won also their bracelets
After the great achievement of the French number one Bertrand Grospellier, another representative of the Hexagon also won a bracelet in the Event # 22 of the World Series of Poker 2011 (WSOP). It is Elie Payan, a member of Orleans Poker Club. His triumph earned him a superb winning of $ 292,825 and his first bracelet. But another passionate of poker also received his first WSOP title. Online poker professional player, the American John Monnette had just won his first live tournament trophy. With his experience during his participation in 16 WSOP final tables, John Monnette knew how to take the lead despite the presence of great players like John Racener who finished eighth, John Juanda who finished in the sixth position or Eric Buchman, the runner up of the game. Apart from the precious jewel, the champion pocketed a sum of $ 278,144.
In another poker room of Rio, the Event # 24 which is a No-Limit Hold'em Shootout also arrived at its final day. Unfortunately, French players including Gilbert Diaz and Marc Inizan failed to integrate the final table. Indeed, American players completely dominated the game and they were seven to struggle for the title which include Tom Marchese, Todd Terry, Sean Getzwiller who had just won a WSOP bracelet or Daniel Smith. And in the Event # 25, a $ 1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better, the game continues. The starting field of 606 participants has now shrunk to 23 players. Players as Frank Kassela is qualified until here but the player who holds the position of chip leader is Cory Zeidman.
