Doyle Brunson won back-to-back championships in 1976 and 1977. He won $560,000 combined for both victories.
In 2000, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson beat T.J. Cloutier heads up for his main event championship. Jesus had a much bigger pay day of $1.5 million .
Incidentally, in the years that both gentlemen won the main event championship, they also picked up an additional WSOP bracelet.
In 1976, Doyle Brunson won a bracelet after taking first place in $5,000 Deuce to Seven Draw event.
In 1977, Brunson won another bracelet after a victory in the $1,000 Seven-Card Stud Split event.
In 2000, Jesus Ferguson won his very first bracelet after a first place finish in the $2,500 Seven-card Stud event.

"You got lucky. You hit the miracle Six. What you gonna do?" he asked himself, continuing to mutter about how when he bets people always think he's on a draw. It appears that some Kings in the hole figured in this pot loss. No reply from tablemates Jennifer Harman, Jeff Madsen et al., but someone shouted from next door, "How many bracelets at that table?"
No reply from Phil Hellmuth, but Tony G offers, "Phil can count up to eleven, no more."

"I think Razz is my weakest game," commented the Milkybarkid. "I know how to play, but not to the extent of the other games."
"Do you just fold your hand and wait for the next game then?" I inquired.
"No, I'll play the hand, but just play it solidly," he replied.
German Lady: "Is this the 2-4 table?"
Dealer: "This is a tournament."
German Lady: "Ok.....are we playing Texas Hold'em?"
Dealer: "This is a HORSE tournament."
German Lady: "Whats the buy-in?"
Dealer: "£2500, have you registered?"
She then, quite embarrassed, got up and left.
As I arrived, the players were actually on a break, and although there were some inevitable grimaces, there were also some broad Cheshire Cat grins, one of which was being worn by Hendon Mobber Joe Beevers. Joe is currently on 19k, a near double up of his 10k starting stack, and in seemingly good spirits.
Not quite enjoying the same dizzy heights, but with his head just above water nonetheless, is fellow teammate Barny Boatman. Barmy Barny (formally nicknamed 'Bellygance') is hovering around his starting stack, but is in confident mood:
"Razz is probably the most straight forward game," he reported. "You can bluff, not often though. I paired a card earlier on, and it looked good for me, so I bluffed my opponent out of the pot."

Catman's table includes Joe Beevers, Eric Seidel, Gus Hansen, Thor Hansen and Justin Bonomo!
