Bell and Brooks take WSOP titles

2008-06-10 16:19:41

The 13th and 14th bracelets from this year's World Series of Poker (WSOP) have been awarded to Duncan Bell and Eric Brooks.

Bell won a $2,500 no-limit hold'em competition, while Brooks triumphed in the World Championship Seven Card Stud tournament.

The Canadian arguably had the easier final table to beat, with Shawn Buchanan and top internet player Brent Hanks the only two names of note.

Brooks on the other hand had to outlast the likes of Alex Kostritsyn, Minh Ly, Erik Seidel and David Oppenheim.

The two champions won $666,777 and $415,856 respectively.

Several more bracelets will be awarded tomorrow, when the Ladies Championship will take centre stage.

Svetlana Gromenkova leads the chip count going into the final table which is devoid of previous bracelet winners.

Event 17, a no-limit hold'em shootout competition, will also conclude, while some of the biggest names in poker will gather for day two of event 18.
