Ian "apokerjoker2" Steinman Looking to for Another WSOP Online Bracelet

Level 12 : 250/500, 60 ante
Ian Steinman
Ian Steinman

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.

Two-Time Bracelet Winner Nathan Gamble Bags First Gold Ring

Level 13 : 300/600, 75 ante

The WSOP Summer Online Circuit recently kicked off to run alongside the bracelet events. The fourth tournament of the series was the $320 buy-in Event #4: $50,000 GTD PLO 8-Max, which attracted 167 players who rebought 146 times. The 313-entry field resulted in a $93,900 prize pool that was reserved for the top 36 finishers.

Among those to cash were Scott "Rumcake" Ball (10th - $1,558.74), Jeff "NedrudRelyt" Madsen (14th - $1,183.14), Ankush "rickrosstheb" Mandavia (18th - $901.44), and Event #3 champ Tom ".BEAST." Cannuli (26th - $704.25)

After six and a half hours of play, it was two-time bracelet winner Nathan "surfbum" Gamble besting Roland "Prngls12" Israelashvili in heads-up play to win a $19,137 top prize and his first gold ring.

Gamble won his first bracelet back in 2017 when he took down Event #46: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better for $223,339, and then last summer he won WSOP.com Event #6: $600 PLO8 6-Handed for $89,424.

Elsmaily Tripped Up by Spinella

Level 14 : 400/800, 100 ante

Anthony "Nowb3Athat" Spinella raised from the hijack and then called the 11,338 three-bet jam Fadi "fadiphatu1" Elsmaily made from the cutoff.

Fadi "fadiphatu1" Elsmaily: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Anthony "Nowb3Athat" Spinella: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Elsmaily was way ahead with his pocket kings until the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop appeared giving Spinella trip queens.

The {5-Clubs} turn left Elsmaily drawing to the case king but the {8-Spades} appeared on the river and ended his tournament.

Bryan "Pellepelle" Piccioli Going For Third Bracelet

Level 15 : 500/1,000, 125 ante
Bryan Piccioli
Bryan Piccioli

Former WSOP November Niner and WSOP Gold Bracelet winner Bryan "Pellepelle" Piccioli spent his time in the 2020 WSOP Online Bracelet Series getting his grind on, and the sheer volume of results for Piccioli, who sports over $4.5 million in lifetime Hendon Mob reported earnings, speaks for itself.

Piccioli started his WSOP Online series with the WSOP.com series, and recorded a staggering 14 cashes during the 31-event series. He netted an eleventh-place finish in Event #29: $2,000 NLH Deepstack for $15,612, and followed that up with a deep run in the final event, Event #31: $1,000 NLH Championship, finishing in twenty-seventh place for $9,897.

The next month, during the GGPoker portion of the WSOP Online, Piccioli added six more cashes to his resume, including another deep run in Event #77: $5,000 NLH Main Event. Piccioli managed to navigate his way to a twenty-third place finish in the event that was eventually won by Stoyan Madanzhiev, and for that deep run, Piccioli added another $79,625 to his account.

Can Piccioli top last year's impressive run of 14 cashes in this year's WSOP.com Online Bracelet Series? Well, he already secured his second career bracelet in Event#12: $500 NLH Turbo Deebstack and is in action today with hopes at making another run for a third
