Busting A Bracelet Winner

Sending a World Series of Poker bracelet winner home early might be the very best way to vault into the Level 5 chip lead in the 2017 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event.

That's exactly what Colin Phoenix just did. He made the nut flush in an 80,000 chip pot to bust Chris Tryba, winner of the 2012 WSOP $2,500 Mixed Hold'em event.

With registration and reentry still open until after the dinner break, and another starting flight Saturday, we surely haven't seen the last of Tryba, or Phoenix for that matter, who is pushing almost 100,000 headed into Level 6.
