Three more bracelet winners at WSOP

2008-06-11 16:01:36

Another three World Series of Poker (WSOP) events came to an end last night.

Svetlana Gromenkova was the last woman standing in the Ladies Championship, winning a bracelet and $224,753 in prize money by defeating Anh Le in the heads-up.

The second title of the evening went to Jason Young, who was victorious in the $1,500 no-limit hold'em shootout tournament - earning $329,872 for his troubles.

His final victim was Michael Schwartz, whom he vanquished after staging a magnificent comeback.

Several hours later, Andrew Brown won the Omaha hi-low split-eight or better competition in what was arguably the biggest story of the day.

Brown went into the heads-up against Ted Forrest with a big chip disadvantage, but managed to overhaul the Hitman's lead and deny him a sixth WSOP bracelet.

A cheque for $225,632 was awarded to the winner, while Forrest - who also has a World Poker Tour title - had to make do with $143,420.
