Former Bracelet Winner Johns Still Alive
Ian Johns may not be the most familiar name left in the field, but he is certainly one of the more accomplished one. Johns won his first and only World Series of Poker gold bracelet back in 2006 when he won Event #23 $3,000 Limit Hold'em after outlasting a field of 341 players to claim the $291,755 first-place prize.
Johns, who hails from Washington state, went on to take 17th in the 2007 $5,000 Limit Hold'em Championship for $12,683, 33rd in Event #31 $2,500 No Limit Hold'em/Six Handed in 2008 for $9,775, and third in the 2009 Event #38 $2,000 Limit Hold'em tournament. As you can see, Johns' four WSOP cashes, which total $391,789, have come primarily in limit hold'em tournaments.
With that said, we would be surprised to see Johns add a fifth WSOP cash to that list here tonight.
