Our review from the World Series of Poker brings you news of a second bracelet of the summer for Ian Johns, a record-breaking Seniors Event, and Jason Mercier leads the Player of the Year race.

Ian Johns is finding gold bracelets at the rate a Beaver finds wood. The 31-year old, who divides his time between Seattle and Las Vegas, has become the second man to win two bracelets this summer. Jason Mercier is the other magnet of gold.

Johns won his first bracelet in Event #8: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E, and he won his second by defeating 110 entrants in Event #28: $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship. He has now won over $500,000 at this year’s festival – not bad for a man who rarely plays tournament poker. It was his 20th WSOP cash, 5th final table, and 3rd career bracelet (he also won a $3k Limit Hold’em event back in 2006).

When asked why he didn’t play No-Limit Hold’em events by WSOP reporters after his win, he answered with beautiful honesty when he said: “I used to play, but these guys passed me by aeons ago. I get in the game, and I don’t know what I am doing.”
