On This Day...

Amidst a flurry of action at the World Series of Poker, there were two final tables running. The first was the $1,000 Ladies Event. Svetlana Gromenkova outlasted a field of 1,190 lovely ladies to capture the gold bracelet. Up next was the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. That event drew an even 1,000 players, and it was Jason Young storming to the top to take home his first bracelet.
Fast forward nine months almost to the day. Both players are in our field here at Caesars, and with a recent table break, they are now seated together. The WSOP-C motto of "First the ring, then the bracelet," isn't exactly the route that these two chose. Now though, they're looking to add to their bling factor by picking up the smaller but still highly-coveted gold circuit ring.
Apart from those two, there are just two other bracelet winners remaining: Mike Sica and Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy.
