Event #18 Champ Dusted

With blinds at 40,000/80,000/10,000, Scott "BudLightLime" Hempel, who won Event #18: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed Turbo DeepStack just three days ago, jammed his last 302,952 in from early position and was called by Myles "Shipthemoney" Kotler from the big blind.

Myles "Shipthemoney" Kotler: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Scott "BudLightLime" Hempel: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Hempel was ahead with his made hand of tens had a sweat after the {4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop gave Kolter straight and flush draws.

Unfortunately for Hempel, the sweat didn't last long as the {5-Spades} turn completed Kolter's straight and the {6-Hearts} river eliminated the newly crowned bracelet winner in 50th place for $2,060.59.

Erica Lindgren

With blinds at 30,000/60,000/7,500, action on the table folded around to Erica "huckcheevers" Lindgren who raised all in for 627,391 from the button and was called by "AgioCosta" from the big blind.

"AgioCosta": {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Erica "huckcheevers" Lindgren: {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Lindgren was dominated but took the lead after the {10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop gave her top two-pair.

Unfortunately for Lindgren, it was short-lived as the {a-Diamonds} appeared on the turn giving her opponent a better two-pair.

Lindgren needed to spike a king on the river to stay alive but it came the {2-Diamonds} ending her tournament in 69th place for $1,492.15.

Shoma "pp_syon" Ishikawa Claims GGPoker's First WSOP Gold Bracelet

Shoma "pp_syon" Ishikawa

It was a night to remember on GGPoker as their first-ever WSOP bracelet events — part of a 54-event schedule spread out across the next months — kicked off. Unfortunately, on a night where three bracelet winners were supposed to be crowned, two of the events ran into a critical bug and had to be suspended to next week.

The lightning-fast Event #34: $525 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed — clocking in at a mere 3 hours and 15 minutes start to finish to make it the fastest-ever bracelet event — was unaffected by the technical issues and played out as normal. In total, 2,214 entries of $525 each were made to create a total prize pool of $1,107,000.

In the end, it was Shoma "pp_syon" Ishikawa of Japan writing history as GGPoker's first-ever online bracelet winner, as well as the third person from Japan after Naoya Kihara and Takahiro Nakai to claim the coveted prize. Ishikawa is an emerging talent from the land of the rising sun with $34,238 in lifetime cashes according to The Hendon Mob, all made in South Korea and Vietnam.
