Level 7 : 200/500, 500 ante

Bracelet Buddies Sat Together

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante
Steve Jelinek and Carl Shaw
Steve Jelinek and Carl Shaw

Two bracelet winners are in the field today, in the shape of Steve Jelinek and Carl Shaw. Jelinek's bracelet came back in 2010 when he won $245,871 in Event #41: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better.

Shaw picked up his bracelet in 2019, defeating Tony Dunst heads-up in the final event of the WSOP.

The pair were discussing the upcoming 2022 WSOP, with Shaw unable to attend ahead of the upcoming birth of his child in May.

"The WSOP isn't going anywhere," said Jelinek, with Shaw murmuring agreement.

The three players checked the {6-Clubs} turn. Neophytou bet 6,200 on the {2-Hearts} river and Wright folded.

Swift called and Neophytou showed the {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for jack-high. Swift held {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and took down the pot.
