David Singer Wins His First WSOP Bracelet
David Singer joined the ranks of poker's elite
by winning his first-ever WSOP bracelet in Event #3, the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold
'em.
Singer defeated a field of 713 players, and went into the final table as one
of the short stacks before eliminating three players to leap into contention.
Entering heads-up play against Jacobo Fernandez with a slight chip deficit,
Singer had drawn level by the dinner break.
After the players returned it was Fernandez who surged to a commanding lead.
Down but not out, Singer managed a key double-up to regain the chip lead and
took the win on the very next hand when he turned a straight against Fernandez's
two pair. David pocketed $214,131 for the win and adds another title to his
recent $25K Heads-Up World Championship win.
Team Full Tilt's Erick Lindgren Wins WSOP Event #4
Congratulations to Erick Lindgren for
capturing his first-ever WSOP bracelet in Event #4, the $5,000 Mixed Hold 'Em
(Limit/No Limit).
Erick beat out a tough field of 332 and a stacked final table, which also
included Team Full Tilt's Howard Lederer and
Full Tilt Pro Roland de Wolfe. Although he
started the heads-up match against Justin Bonomo behind in chips, Lindgren
quickly gained an overwhelming chip lead and also the victory when he turned a
straight against Bonomo's two pair.
Lindgren collected $374,505 for the win and his victory brings the number of
bracelets won by Team Full Tilt members to 33.
Nenad Medic Wins WSOP* Event #1
Congratulations to Nenad Medic for winning his
first-ever WSOP* bracelet in Event #1, the $10K buy-in Pot-Limit Hold ‘em
tournament.
Medic outlasted a star-studded final table including new Team Full Tilt
member Patrik Antonius and long-standing Team Full Tilter, Andy Bloch, who finished second.
Medic entered heads-up play against Bloch with a more than 2-1 chip lead, and
the two heavyweights battled for almost an hour before the final hand was dealt.
In the end, Bloch’s pair of 9s lost to Medic’s 5h-7h after Bloch called all-in
on a board of 8h-5s-4h and Medic caught his flush on the turn.
Bloch earned $448,000 for second while Medic walked away with $794,000 and
the Champion’s bracelet.
