France Poker Series winner Patrick Braga has had a decent series at Playground Poker for the 2017 World Cup of Cards. He has already finished in 4th place in the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em 50/50 Bounty event for $7,100 and 12th place in the $1,650 No Limit Hold'em CPPT WCC event for $8,490.
Braga took down the 2013 €1,100 No Limit Hold'em Main Event in Deauville for €165,000 and has yet to win another tournament since then. His deep runs following that win have been right here in Montreal, so look for him to try and finish the job before the series is up.
