2008 WSOP Diary, June 15: Brother of Event #2 Champion Takes Down Event #23

The WSOP is crowning an average of two people per day. We don't mean that in the manner that somebody who owes the mafia money gets crowned, but just stating the fact that an average of two WSOP bracelet winners are named per day: Day 17 was no exception. Max Pescatori pulled out a come from behind, heads-up victory to secure the Event #24 ($2,500 Pot Limit Holdem/Omaha) championship, while Blair Hinkle was a table terror during Event #23 ($2,000 No Limit Holdem). During this event he personally eliminated six out of his eight opponents as he completely dominated the table on the way to his WSOP bracelet.
