The latest day of World Series of Poker action saw a very familiar face at the top of one event leaderboard, while a new name made it onto the roster of WSOP bracelet winners and legends took to the felt as they battled towards glory.
It’s time for a round of Rio action as Day 25 crowned a new champion and saw late drama in virtually every event.
Ryan Hansen Claims First Bracelet Win on PokerGO
The latest bracelet winner was a first-timer as Ryan Hansen fulfilled a lifelong dream to claim WSOP gold for the first time. Winning his bracelet on the live-streamed PokerGO final table, Hansen was ecstatic as he took down the $3,000-entry Six-Handed Limit Hold’em Event #44.
With some superb action seeing Hansen come back from being 2:1 down when he began his heads-up battle with Japan’s Kosei Ichinose, Hansen claimed a memorable victory and banked the top prize of $109,692 as he became champion.
