Tournament on which we had secured eyes as a member of our forums was still in the race for the bracelet! Miguel "Mig" Proulx was to monitor when the action would resume.
Unfortunately for Mig, his race stopped shortly before the final table while he finished in 13th position for $ 27,367, which is still quite an achievement. The final table was comprised almost exclusively of Americans with the exception of Kristijonas Andrulis of Lithuania.
It was Dung Nguyen, who won the jackpot $ 607,200 most prestigious bracelet! It was for him to his first purse in a WSOP tournament and obviously, his first bracelet!
