Young pro takes WCOOP event 55 to become the first player to own 3 WCOOP bracelets
Ryan D'Angelo, a 24-year-old online poker pro who hails from Binghamton, NY, became the first man to hold three winner's bracelets in the Pokerstars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) over the weekend when he took down event 55; a $530 buy-in NLHE competition with re-buys.
The young player, who went professional three years ago, took home the winner's prize of almost $200 000 along with the record-setting bracelet. D'Angelo won his first two bracelets in the 2009 WCOOP series.
1 066 players entered for the event, which culminated in a heads up between D'Angelo and Ravi “govshark2” Raghaven after the duo agreed to a chop, ultimately giving Raghaven a second placing payday of $179 450.
During the event, which achieved a prize pool of $1 229 000, there were 746 re-buys and 646 add-ons.
Prior to his win this weekend, D'Angelo's biggest online cash had been $17 370, achieved in a Pokerstars tourney in 2007.
