Bracelet Begot a Ring
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Three years ago, James Todd brought a woman he was dating to Las Vegas for the WSOP. After he won a bracelet in the Salute to Warriors event that year, he married her.
He also bought a few new toys, but marrying Shannon is the best thing to come from his triumph.
"Her energy was so great during that run, how could I not marry her?" said Todd, who took home $161,256 when he won in 2022.
Todd has played in more tournaments than he used to, but he doesn't tell many who he is or brag about his poker accomplishments. His tablemates today have no idea they're playing with a champion.
"It hasn't come up," Todd said with a smile.
