David Sklansky claims to hold the record for longest time between bracelets. He can't think of a single player who won a bracelet before Sklansky's last bracelet in 1983, who is still playing and hasn't won a bracelet since. That's 25 years since Sklansky's last bracelet.
"A very interesting record," said Sklansky. Do you see why?

On the first draw, Danzer drew two and Hellmuth one. Same story on the second draw. On the third, Danzer took one, and Hellmuth stood pat.
On that final draw, Hellmuth had a smooth eight -- 8-5-4-3-2. Danzer had a 7-7-6-3-2 and had thrown back a seven in hopes of catching a four or five. He bricked, though, and is out. Hellmuth is up to 17,800.
Stockinger checked, Lindgren bet, and Stockinger called. Stockinger then took one card, and Lindgren again stood pat. Stockinger checked, Lindgren bet, and this time Stockinger check-raised. Lindgren thought a moment, then made the call with the last of his chips.
On the third draw, Stockinger stood pat, and Lindgren drew one card.
"What do I gotta beat?" asked Lindgren. "8-7" said Stockinger. Lindgren mucked before even looking at Stockinger's cards. Stockinger was telling the truth, as he showed 8-7-6-5-2. "Guess I should have waited to see your cards," Lindgren chuckled as he stood up.
Stockinger is up to 23,500.
After the hand, Giang is up to 23,000.
Mark Seif raised, Gavin Griffin reraised, and Seif called. Both drew one card. Seif checked, Griffin bet, and Seif called. On the second draw, both took one card again. Again, Seif check-called Griffin's bet.
Both stood pat on the third round, and again Seif check-called. Griffin turned over a "number two" -- 7-6-4-3-2 -- and Seif mucked.
Griffin is back up to 14,400.
Chen showed 10-7-4-3-2, and his opponent mucked in disgust, suggesting a narrow loss. Chen is up to 28,700.
