Event 20: $3,200 NLHE High Roller (July 20)
Sang “youngkoi” Lee took down this event on Tuesday night, his first bracelet and $241,768. The event attracted 311 entries for a $948,840 prize pool.
The accomplishment was no easy task for New Jersey’s Lee. He had to bypass a final table of of other Garden State online powerhouses.
That included David “Dehhhhh” Coleman, Daniel “Juice” Buzgon, and Christopher “Basile28” Basile. Basile is currently the top online player in the United States.
Buzgon is also no stranger to online success. USPoker recently caught up with him about his runner-up finish and recent success in the partypoker Ultimate Super Satellite.
“I haven’t had the best track record over the years in bracelet events so making a run like that feels pretty good,” he says. “Getting second in any tournament let alone a WSOP bracelet event can be depressing if you let it. I obviously wasn’t feeling great after busting, but then reality starts to set in a few hours later and you realize how insane you ran to get to that point.”
Event 21: $600 PLO Six-Handed (July 21)
Bradley “DrStrange7” Ruben added his second bracelet came to him Wednesday night along with $61,148. The tournament drew a field of 1,551 and a prize pool of $297,540.
Bradley Ruben’s first bracelet came in a $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event in 2020 at GGPoker. Other notable cashes included Ari “PalmTreeB” Engel, Shannon “Aulophobia” Shorr, and Andrew “Watchguy42” Lichtenberger.
Event 22: $600 NLHE Knockout (July 22)
A player by the online name “LastBullet” outshot Daniel “Dnegs” Negreanu on the final table of the $600 Knockout Thursday night. The event brought in 612 players and a prize pool of $342,720.
LastBullet scored $46,796 for the win. Ryan “badbeatbill” Basile finished in second place for $28,708.
A possible Negreanu bracelet win drew plenty of interest among poker fans online. He streamed his play at the final table, eventually taking third for $19,851.

Tracking Catena poker team battle
