WSOP Weekend Round Up: Bracelets for Hastings, Idema, Kaverman, Boyer and Wunstel

Lee Davy gets you up to speed on a number of bracelet victories including Brian Hastings becoming the first double winner of the series, Daniel Idema winning his third bracelet in five years, and Byron Kaverman winning his first major title.

Brian Hastings is the first player to win two bracelets at the 46th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP). He beat 380 entrants in Event #39: $1,500 10-Game Mix. The total prize pool was $513,500, 42 places were paid, and Hastings picked up $133,403 after beating Rostislav Tsodikov in heads-up action.

The victory was Hastings 15th WSOP cash, his eighth final table, and his third victory. He told WSOP officials after his win that his confidence is so high, he believes he is going to win every time he sits down to play. Who can argue with that?

The impressive Mike Watson made his second final table of the series, both times finishing in sixth place.
