The latest World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner will be named today in Event #59: $500 Salute to Warriors No-Limit Hold'em, a unique event that sees $40 from each buy-in donated to veteran-focused charities. The event drew 4,478 runners, so that's a lot of money to charity.
Leading the way into Day 3 of Salute to Warriors, which kicks off at 11 a.m. local time, is none other than 2006 WSOP Main Event champion Jamie Gold, who is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his Main Event run. Gold will have to fend off the other 34 players returning, which includes big stacks like India's Jeevan Lobo, Japan's Sho Shiratori and a pair of Frenchman in Julien Duveau and Samuel Rannou.

Further down the counts is poker vlogger Lexy Gavin-Mather, who has already had a deep run this summer with a 23rd-place finish in the $1,700 Circuit Championship. Regardless how Gavin-Mather ends up, it should make for an entertaining vlog watch.
Every remaining player aside from Gold is looking for their first bracelet, and that includes Germany's Stefan Bittger, Taiwan's Wesley Chen, and Canada's Sebastian Crema.
Action will pick back up on Level 33 with blinds of 200,000/400,000/400,000. Levels will last 40 minutes with a 15-minute break every two levels. A dinner break will be decided by the floor later today.
Each player is guaranteed a payday of at least $6,540, while $208,800 and a WSOP bracelet await the eventual winner.
