WSOP: Cazals Aubin offer to France the first bracelet of this edition 2012
The coronation of the best players still continue in Rio. Indeed, the verdict was announced for several tournaments of the World Series of Poker 2012. During the Event 6, the Mix-Max NLHE of $ 5,000, the victory went to the young French Aubin Cazals. He offered to France its tenth gold bracelet and pocketed for his great performance the prize of $ 480,564. But before receiving this title, Cazals faced players like Joseph Cheong, the November Nine in 2010, during the final duel that lasted five hours. Finally, Cheong surrendered and left the top spot to the French. For the Event 7, Seven Card Stud of $ 1,500, the title was awarded to Andy Bloch, who managed to triumph against 359competitors and especially Barry Greenstein, his opponent during the final heads'up.
For the first time in his career, Bloch won a WSOP bracelet. After 18 years of participation in the world poker championship and after nine final tables, he finally realized his dream. In addition to the big trophy and the title, Bloch also collected the sum of $ 126,363. And the game also ended for the Event 8, an Omaha High-Low Split 8 or Better. Having reached a field of 967 participants, the $ 1,500 tournament crowned a septuagenarian, a professional in finance named Tapscott Herbert. This poker enthusiast from Hartselle, Alabama managed to defy the most talented as the owner of Triple Crown, Gavin Griffin that he ousted during the final head's up. He then pocketed the premium of $ 264,400. Note that Phil Hellmuth was also part of the field and if he didn't gain the victory, he was entitled to a place in the money list.
