  3. Klein De Silva And Moshe Increase Career Wsop Bracelets Totals

An ongoing theme at the 2019 World Series of Poker is repeat bracelet winners. There have been multiple players such as Michael Mizrachi and John Hennigan that have added to their career totals and over the last few days, three more players have added another WSOP bracelet to their career totals.

Upeshka De Silva recently won the $600 WSOP.com ONLINE NL Hold’em Knockout event for his third career bracelet. On Thursday, Loren Klein and his MAGA hat took down his fourth career bracelet by winning the $2,500 Mixed Big Bet event. Finally, Asi Moshe won his third career bracelet in the $1,500 NL Hold’em Bounty Event.

Upeshka De Silva Wins $600 Online Knockout Event

Last weekend, the $600 WSOP.com ONLINE NL Hold’em Knockout Bounty event played out and drew a field of 1,224 entries. The event was a single day event and by the time the final table was reached, Upeshka “gomezhamburg” De Silva was the headliner at the final table.

By the time heads-up play was reached, De Silva and David “Dave419” Nodes were battling for the bracelet. Nodes was able to take the chip lead for a while but De Silva was able to storm back to take the chip lead prior to the final hand. Nodes ran into a set of tens on the final hand and was eliminated in second place.

This victory gave De Silva his third career WSOP bracelet. De Silva is having a strong 2019 WSOP, cashing six times and making two final tables. He also made the final table of the $3k Six-Handed Event earlier in the month. This time around De Silva took the bracelet and $98,263 in prize money.

Loren Klein Wins Fourth Bracelet in $2,500 Mixed Big Bet Event

Loren Klein has been on quite the streak over the last four years. Every year since 2016, Klein has won a WSOP bracelet. This time around, Klein managed to take down the $2,500 Mixed Big Bet after surviving a final table that included Ryan Hughes, Jonathan Depa, and Poker Hall of Famer Mike Sexton.

Heads-up in this event was between Ryan Hughes and Klein, but it was a short battle. Klein started with more than a 2:1 chip lead and never looked back. In the final hand, Hughes was all-in during a PLO8 hand with just a pair of aces but ran into the second nut flush for Klein.

Klein made headlines in 2018 when he won a WSOP bracelet wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat to tilt his opponents. The hat made a return this year and Klein ended up winning his fourth WSOP bracelet in four years. In addition to the bracelet, he also received $127,808 in prize money.

Asi Moshe Wins Third Career Bracelet in $1,500 NL Hold’em Bounty

The $1,500 NL Hold’em Bounty event that concluded on Friday had a largely unknown final table with the exception of then two-time WSOP bracelet winner Asi Moshe. Moshe started the final table second in chips and soon found himself in the chip lead.

From that point, Moshe continued to pile on chips. By the time heads-up play was reached, Moshe reached heads-up play with Damjan Radanov, he was over a 7 to 1 chip lead. Moshe was never in any serious danger, so much so that he made a crazy play at the end to win the tournament.

Moshe was all-in with 4s-3s and Radanov made the call with 10d-8d. Radanov was well ahead and in great shape to double-up through the turn. However, the river fell the 4h and Moshe won his third career WSOP bracelet.

Asi Moshe has proven himself to be one of Israel’s greatest players, winning his third WSOP bracelet in this event. He also earned a nice $253,933 payday for the win.
