Lee Davy pores through the pages of WSOP.com to bring you an update of all the major news stories emerging from a 35th day of action at the 46th Annual World Series of Poker.

Takahiro Nakai has become the second Japanese player to win a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet in the past 46-years. Nakai follows in the footsteps of his countryman Naoya Kihara after winning Event #57: $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em.

There was a huge turnout for the event. 2,497 players putting down the grand, and that mass would lead to a fourth day of action; although that final day was nothing short of sending a lamb to the slaughter.

After Nakai defeated the bullish Brit, Paul Vas Nunes, in third place he would take on the former WSOP bracelet winner Mel Weiner for the $399,039 first prize. Weiner is a veteran of the game, as proven by the date of his last WSOP victory: 1996. He overcame a rogue’s gallery of Russ Hamilton, Chris Ferguson and Annie Duke to win that one.
