Bardah Returns from Poker Break with WSOP Final Table
Ronnie Bardah has never made a World Series of Poker final table, but he has broken that spell here today by finding his way to the final six of this 302-player field and is already guaranteed $23,648.
With over $530,000 in live tournament earnings, the Brockton, Massachusetts native has two WSOP cashes on his record. Both of those came from the Main Event in back-to-back years of 2010 and 2011. His run in 2010 ended in 24th place for $317,161, which means he wasn't that far off from making the mother of all final tables. The following year, Bardah made the fourth payout group and earned $27,103 for finishing in 453rd place.
Recently, Bardah took some time away from poker to do some traveling and train Muay Thai for a couple of months. According to him, it's helped him out greatly both in life and also in poker as his mind is much fresher and more free than it has ever been. PokerNews interviewed Bardah about that experience and you can read all about it here.
