Lee Davy starts his Monday morning by delivering news of eight bracelet winners, over an action packed weekend, including Mike Gorodinsky winning the $50k Poker Players Championships, Eli Elezra winning his third bracelet, and Carol Fuchs causing an upset in the Dealers Choice event.

Everyone wants to win the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. I’m sure even the most stoic of professional poker players has had that dream. But when those eyes close, it’s a vision of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship (PPC) that invades most people’s REM sleep.

Everyone knows it’s the most prestigious event to win, outside of the big one, and the winner is often referred to as the best ‘pound for pound’ poker player in the business. It’s also an event that has 84 runners, not 6,683. I think that helps.

The latest winner is Mike Gorodinsky. He topped a field of 84 players – the smallest ever $50k field – including a very familiar face in a tough and tense heads-up battle.
