Andres Korn Wins First WSOP Bracelet on PokerGO

The World Series of Poker returned nine players for the fourth and final day of Event #56: $5,000 No Limit Hold’em from a starting field of 623 entrants. Andres Korn broke through to win his first bracelet for the largest cash of his career, just the second bracelet for Argentina, after defeating Pete Chen heads—up for $618,285 exclusively on the PokerGO stream.

“The bracelet weighs so much more,” Korn said after winning. “I wasn’t even looking at the pay jumps; I was just focused on the bracelet. For us who play poker, this is the glory. And you don’t get many chances to play for it – not that the money isn’t nice, of course. The money is beautiful buy my main thing was the bracelet.”

Korn earned five of the eight eliminations at the final table. “It was beautiful – I connected with every flop,” Korn said. “I won every flip. The cards just kept coming my way – it was amazing, I’ve been having a good year. This is like the fifth tournament I have won this year – I’m running hot.”
