Play Resumes

As has become the trend this year, the opening day of the 12pm event ground to a halt at the conclusion of the break as the latest two bracelet winners were honored in their very own ceremony: Steve Jelinek and, now, two-time bracelet winner Frank Kassela.

After the final beats of Stars and Stripes kicked in, Jack Effell congratulated both players on their achievements before repeating those immortal words: "Shuffle up and deal."

Consequently, players have now retaken their seats and play has resumed with Kassela looking to tie the current record of three bracelets in one Series.
