In this week’s Calling The Clock, Lee Davy reminds you that Mohsin Charania won a Triple Crown, Ryan Hughes could win the World Series of Poker Player of the Year award without winning a bracelet, and much more.
Soon the Galileo 4.5 inchers will be packed away as the star-filled spectacle that is the World Series of Poker (WSOP) will soon slip onto the Big Dipper and vanish into another cosmos for 12-months. But until that teary-eyed moment, we still have some stargazing to do.
Mohsin Charania is a missionary for the professionals who prefer the money over the titles, believing prestige is for people like Phil Hellmuth Jr. But this week, we can allow him a few minutes of sentimentality, as he gave the 1,580 players who entered Event #52: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) a good spanking on his way to a $364,438 windfall, and a place in the lusted after, Triple Crown Club.
The European Poker Tour (EPT) Main Event, World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Event, and World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner wasn’t the only Chicago born player to win a bracelet this week after Tom Koral took down the $1,500 Seven-Card Stud event.
