Kachan First Gold WSOP Bracelet

Kachan First Gold WSOP Bracelet
Mike Kachan does it again; this Minnesotan online poker ace proves he is the best at the 56th event of the World Series of Poker last week. All those long hours of internet poker paid out when he won his first gold WSOP bracelet and $403,483 in the NLHE event. The relatively low $1,000 buy-in attracted a swarm of competitors, over 2,500 of them, creating a prize pool of $2,272,500. The event lasted three full days and it climaxed on Wednesday morning, when Kachan met Jeff Blenkarn at the final table, followed by an endurance test of almost 190 hands. This is when his long hours of online gaming came to use, but our ace admits it was still tough and taxing. The three-handed stage of the game was reached by Kachan, Blenkarn and Eric Shanks, which took just 30 minutes and Shanks, was out in third place for $177,527. Next was Blencarn, becoming the runner-up with a prize of $250,815, he was sent home on hand 187 by Kachan after a 45 minute long stand-of. The rest of the final table received pay-outs: 4.Andrew Egan $128,032 5.Viktor Skoldstedt $93,490 6.Neo Hoang $69,084 7.Steve Gross $51,676 8.Richard Milne $39,109 9.Ray Henson $29,951
