Lee Davy chucks a green juice down his throat whilst bringing you news from the 33rd day of the 46th Annual World Series of Poker: including a bracelet win for Kevin MacPhee, Jacqueline Scott becomes the second female winner of the series, and Daniel Colman is on familiar ground in the One Drop.
Kevin MacPhee is one hell of a poker player.
He has won titles all over the world, amassed over $4.1m in live tournament earnings and close to $7m playing online; but he badly wanted a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet. He came close a few weeks ago, finishing fourth in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em event, and now he finally has one.
MacPhee topped a field of 454 players in Event #56: $5,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold’em. It was a new event, it created a total prize pool of $2.1m, and the 34-year old from Idaho walked away with $490,800 after beating Igor Yaroshevskyy in heads-up action.
