Michael Addamo is Australia's No 1 player, both live and online, though he moved to Thailand last year, when Australia banned online poker. Imluckbox has won a SCOOP Hi-Roller and Patrick Leonard recently ranked him as the 5th best player online. He has also won and final-tabled a bunch of flagship live tournaments. He is 23, so this is just the third year he has been eligible to play the World Series. He cashed 16 times in his first two years, including a third place each year and now he has his first bracelet. It surely will not be his last.
Martin Jacobson weighed in for Jon's team. He seems to have matured a lot since he won the Main. I reckon I could have taken him in a fight at that time, but he looks fitter now.

The bracelets are getting sprayed around different countries now, with one for Israel this time.
Yifrach lives in Cali now, running his businesses, and only plays high-roller cash and tournaments. “I'm playing mainly bigger events so it's going to be worth my time.”
He wasn't happy that he had to waste his time hanging around for an extra day to win a bracelet. "I felt like I was going to win it that night. It didn't happen. When the floor announced that we only have 10 minutes left and we can't continue playing, I got a little upset because I was supposed to leave the next morning. I was supposed to be out of here.”
With a 10m-1.6m-1.2m dominating stack three-handed, he called both of the others light in the last hands of Day 3 to try to end it, but just doubled them both up. In the end, he won with a suckout, with stacks almost even, he called James Mackey's Turn shove with A8 on an 8-high board against Mackey's TT, and hit an 8 on the River.
Nice of Mercier to turn up.

Take a bow, Cody Wagner.
Cody has joined a very exclusive club of APAT players who have played on a WSOP final table, previously consisting of just Steve Bradbury, Liam Alcock and Dave Burt. Have I missed anyone? Unless I have, Cody becomes the fourth APAT player to accomplish this achievement. This was a smaller field than the mass numbers in Hold'em tournaments, but it was loaded with professionals - five of the top twelve had won bracelets previously. Like the other three, Cody won his trip to Vegas, so the $30,926 he won is virtually all profit.
Final Table
Cody also won a big tournament in DTD last year

Lots of Ferguson fans. How times change.
Bambrick turned up an hour late on Day 2 and finished the day with the chip lead, with 13 players left. By the time he showed on Day 3, two players had been eliminated. "It's a long walk to the room and I like to sleep in sometimes", he explained. It's important to get your priorities right.

Steve Albini of the band Shellac of North America was the unexpected winner of this tough event, which ended up with two previous Player of the Year winners in the top four. We haven't seen much from Lisandro for a while but winning three bracelets in one year means we are willing to give him a long-term pass, and he justified it by coming back to almost win another one.
It was a big result for Tom, who is the only selector with Lisandro, as well as having Ferguson.
