Two more WSOP bracelets have been won across events in both no limit hold’em and PLO8, with Allen Chang and Nathan Gamble winning their first and second bracelets respectively.

Event #5

Allen Chang won his bracelet first, and it was his debut win in a WSOP event, as he negotiated a field of 854 entries to win the $1,000-entry Freezeout event for $161,286. You read that correctly, with no rebuys to worry about in this event, and when players busted, they busted for real.

Hailing from Brooklyn, Chang won the top prize from a huge prizepool of $811,300, which saw just 126 players paid. While rebuys often favour the big names, there were still plenty of poker luminaries who made the money, with former WSOP bracelet winner Andy Bloch coming 105th for $1,623), Event #2 winner Louis Lynch finishing 50th for $2,758.42 and Joseph Cheong running all the way to 40th for $3,164.
