Lee Davy brings you a round up of the main stories from the 39th day of the 46th Annual World Series of Poker, including a shock in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E Championships, two bracelets for good old Britannia, and a clever little Italian leading the Lucky Sevens. 

The melodies of a mass of different songs make a jukebox worth turning on. I understand why the World Series of Poker (WSOP) decided to create the fetus known as the first online poker bracelet. I just don’t agree with it.

One person who couldn’t give a monkey’s about my opinion is Anthony “casedismissed” Spinella. A Playa del Carmen resident – we’ll assume he moved there for the grind, and not THE GRIND – managed to defeat 905 entrants on his way to winning the first online poker bracelet in series history, and the first of his career.

The $859,750 prize pool, and $197,743 first prize, set new records in their respective fields in a US online poker industry that’s started to creep into regulated territory at the pace of a snail with a tack stuck in it’s foot. Did anybody expect anything different though?
