Bracelet Ceremonies

This break is going to be extended just a few minutes for two bracelet ceremonies up on the Pavilion stage.
Jack Effel introduced Marcel Vonk to the crowd, champion of the final $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Event. We were treated to the Dutch national anthem as Vonk was given his gold bracelet and his Diamond Total Rewards card. Vonk is a physicist, and he says he'd rather win the Nobel Prize than a bracelet... but it's close.
Second to the stage was Dan Kelly, the champion of Event #52, the big $25,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event. That was good for a payday of well over $1 million for the 21-year-old, and he's already got himself a gold bracelet at that tender age too -- and in possibly the toughest event of the summer, no less. Kelly's bracelet hoisting cued the American national anthem, and we're just a few moments from getting the cards back in the air with Level 2 now.
