A World Series of Poker round-up of contrasting competitions as Elior Sion wins the $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship, and Nipun Java becomes the second player to win two bracelets this summer after victory in the $1k online event.

The 48th World Series of Poker (WSOP) has seen members of the cash game coalition shine, and the $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship was no exception.

Two online cash game badasses exchanged handcuffs and leg irons for over five hours until Elior ‘CrazyElior’ Sion finally managed to shackle his opponent, Johannes Becker, and take down the $1,395,767 first prize.

Heading into the final table, only one person was gossiping about Sion, and that was Daniel Negreanu. The six-time WSOP bracelet winner, came into the final with the chip lead, and more confidence than OJ Simpson taking a polygraph, but he had respect for the young 26-year-old from the UK telling PokerNews he was the man he feared the most.
