Ian "apokerjoker2" Steinman Looking to Crush Another WSOP Online Bracelet Series
Level 3
: 50/100, 0 ante
One WSOP Gold Bracelet. Three final tables. Fifteen cashes. That was the body of work of Ian "apokerjoker2" Steinman in last year's WSOP.com Online Bracelet Series, one that would be the envy of nearly everyone who fired in last year's version. Steinman, who already has been seeking action on some bracelet bets for this year's series, will be looking to duplicate his many deep runs and massive success this year.
Steinman's heater began last year with two final tables early in the series, with a fifth-place performance in Event #7: $800 NLH Knockout Deepstack for $24,578, followed by a sixth-place finish two days later in Event #9: $1,000 NLH 6-Max for $30,995. Steinman's bracelet would be earned late in the series, when he took down Event #27: $400 NLH Freezeout for $110,557 after beating Japan's Satoshi Tanaka in heads-up play. Steinman used these performances to take down the $100,000 Leaderboard competition of the WSOP.com portion of the series, which sent an additional $18,000 his way.
Steinman doesn't appear to be resting on his laurels in preparing for a summer of poker, however, already getting in some prep work by winning the Benny Binion Summer Shoot-Out at the South Point Poker Room for $65,000 after a three-way deal. As much as winning his first bracelet meant to Steinman, the quest for another crusher of a summer is on for the hyper-talented Steinman.

Sorry, Not Sorry: New Jersey's Ryan Torgersen Discusses Incredible Bracelet Redemption
Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
Last year on July 9th and 10th, the poker world witnessed New Jersey’s Ryan “im.sorry” Torgersen accomplish a truly incredible feat. First, he navigated his way through a 1,026-entry field in Event #9: $1,000 NLH 6-Max only to finish runner-up to Ron “MacDaddy15” McMillen, good for $116,379 prize money.
A day later in Event #10: $600 Monster Stack, Torgersen was back at it and topped a 2,074-entry field to win that tournament for $172,362 and a gold bracelet. In a 24-hour period, he won a $288,741 in prize money.
Little was known about poker’s latest breakout star, who was awarded Performance of the Week right on PokerNews.
The 30-year-old Torgersen grew up in Granby, Connecticut with his parents and younger sister.
“I do not have much work experience besides a few delivery jobs I had in my mid 20's before I got back into poker and moved to Jersey,” he said. “I spent a couple years in college studying economics but was spending too much time playing poker. I did not want to go to college in the first place, right after I graduated from high school, but I did it because it was expected of me.”
As it turned out, the education he’d use to capture WSOP gold came years earlier courtesy of his father, who taught him how to play poker.
“My dad taught me the rules of poker at a pretty young age before I found PokerStars during the poker boom,” Torgersen explained. “I taught myself, originally by spending hours watching all the top tournament players from the PocketFives and Pokerstars TLB every day, figuring out how they would play different stack sizes, then just put it into my own game and saw good results pretty quickly.”
He continued: “Back then, I thought I was the best in the game and knew all there was to know, but after years of experience and studying cash games/sims I realize there will always be so much more room to get better and I'll never know it all no matter how much I study.”
No Picinic for Goehring
Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
Alan "GladiusIII" Goehring, who last summer won his first gold bracelet in an online event, raised to 400 from the cutoff and Dominic "Ry_Ty_Ly" Picinic called from the big blind.
Picinic check-called a bet of 450 on the 
flop and then both players checked the 
turn.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Picinic bet 1,200 and Goehring called.
Picinic rolled over the 
for a full house and Goehring mucked, leaving himself just 756.
