A 5th place for Cajelais, Juanda who spoil the feast of Hellmuth Jr., a first bracelet for the Canada, record crowds and some paid positions for Quebecers. Here is the summary of the 2011 WSOP weekend (10-11-12 June).

Event #13 (Triple Shootout No - Limit Hold'Em at $ 1500)-Cajelais finished 5th.
At the beginning of the day #3, Cajelais had announced that it would take a tank to stop it. Unfortunately for him, this tank took the name of Andrew Badecker. Erik Cajelais had to bow while he was unfortunate enough to complete his drawing to color on a board KJJ. The river has completed the circulation of Cajelais, but Badecker had the hands a fatal KJ.
Cajelais ends so 5th, and pockets $ 79 315 for his performance. Andrew Badecker, for its part, has taken advantage of the elimination of Cajelais to win the much coveted bracelet, as well as $ 369 371.

Event #14 (Limit Hold'em at $ 3000)-a first bracelet for the Canada.
After firing back with 300 000 chips against the 2.7 million of his opponent, the Tyler Bonkowski Canadian was able to turn the corner and win a world series bracelet, in addition to $ 220 817.
He thus became the first Canadian to win a bracelet at the WSOP this year.

Event #15 (Pot-Limit Hold'Em at $ 1500)-Brian Rast wins first bracelet.
7 Quebecers join the tournament rapidly lost from the first day of hostilities. It was Brian Rast who wins the event. Despite several excellent previous results for Rast, it was his first WSOP bracelet. He should thank his good friend Antonio Esfandiari, who convinced him to attend this event.

Event #16 (2-7 Draw lowball $ 10,000) - John Juanda spoils the party by Phil Hellmuth Jr.
Four years ago, Phil Hellmuth Jr. won his 11th bracelet at the world series of poker, becoming the player having won the bracelet more. With an extremely solid game, Hellmuth had a lead of 3:1 at the beginning of the Headsup against the FullTilt Poker pro player, John Juanda. Considered one of the best players in the world of 2-7 No-Limit, Juanda did intend not to make easy for Hellmuth day and counted well recovering for the last two years, where Juanda finished 4th in the same event. Methodically, Juanda quietly took control of the game and was masterfully able to dispose of his opponent, thus depriving it of a 12th bracelet. For his part, Juanda won a 5th WSOP bracelet.
During the headsup, Phil Hellmuth showed clear signs of impatience, admitting afterwards that he was alarmed by the quality of the game's Juanda. The calm and silence of Juanda has only amplified the tilt of Hellmuth.
