On Sunday, July 16, the seventh and final Michigan online bracelet of the summer was awarded in Online Event #7: $500 NL Hold'em Summer Saver. The tournament saw 260 entries create a prize pool of $117,000 paid to the top 30 finishers.

Among those to finish in the money were Samuel Phillips (23rd - $1,346), three-time bracelet winner Dash Dudley (24th - $1,346), and Carter Myers (27th - $1,334). Following a day of battling on the virtual felt, Nicolai Morris (lead picture) of Oak Park, MI took home the bracelet and the $26,231 top prize after defeating Randy Bullen in heads-up play.

Morris secured his first recorded victory and his second-biggest recorded cash. His top cash was for $31,086 in the 2018 WSOP $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship in the Round of 8, and now Morris adds a gold bracelet to his WSOP résumé.
