Dan Zack wins a bracelet in event #6: $2,500 Limit Mixed Triple Draw, and Alex Epstein wins the inaugural Short-Deck bracelet.

Dan Zack rhymes with ‘quack’, a noise made by a duck. A duck is a common name given to the waterfowl family known as Anatidae. Waterfowl are members of the avian dinosaurs, better-known as ‘birds’.

One species of bird lays eggs in smaller birds nests. When the chick hatches, it pushes out the other eggs, or step brothers and sisters, leaving itself as the sole heir to the throne. This remarkable bird is called a cuckoo, and that’s how Dan Zack felt after making eight World Series of Poker (WSOP) final tables without winning a bracelet.

All that changed, yesterday, when Zack took down Event #6: $2,500 Limit Mixed Triple Draw.
