Josephy Wins WSOP Event #9 Whilst Event #13 Kicks Off
The ninth event at the World Series Of Poker was confined to the history books earlier today as Cliff Josephy became the latest proud owner of a bracelet, though it actually his second one to date. The $3k NLHE Shootout event always proves to be a popular format and this one was certainly no different.
He had to come out on top of the final table of ten in the event after successfully winning a previous two tables to find himself there.
He not only took home a prestigious WSOP gold bracelet but also the first place prize of $299,486 after beating a final table that included the likes of Evan Silverstein, David Baker and Chris Klodnicki.

Heads up between him and Silverstein was an equal affair in the beginning as both players had similar stacks, though less than 50 hands later he had successfully beaten his opponent to the bracelet.

Event #13 Day 1 Sees Woodward leading Remaining 130
Another day, another event or two starts up at the 2013 World Series Of Poker. This time it was Event #13 that brought in a field of 191 players looking to take part in a $5k Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo tournament.
Those players had to see their way past eight levels that lasted an hour a piece before being sure of being involved in Day 2 which starts later on today. By the time the day had finished it was Matt Woodward who held the chip lead, but in an extremely close top ten he has players like Gavin Smith, David Bach, Kevin Vo and Yuval Bronshtein right on his tail.
Good day of stud 8, have about 52k

Those players will all now return later on today to see another day of action in Day 2. Each will be hoping to do enough to make it into the final day of Day 3 and eventually make a strong challenge for the bracelet.
