2017 World Series of Poker Update: More Multiple Bracelet Winners

Two players joined the double World Series of Poker bracelet club this week, while another laid claim to his third.

Brian Yoon went up against a sizable field of 6,716 players in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em tournament and was the last man standing to win his third WSOP bracelet. Yoon also earned a six-figure cash payout, pocketing $1,094,349 for the win.

That was Yoon's fifth cash win at this year's WSOP and his 22nd overall, totaling $2,777,523. He won his other two WSOP bracelets in the 2013 $1,111 Little One for One Drop and the 2014 $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Eight-Handed tournament.

The two players who added a second career WSOP bracelet to their haul this week were Loren Klein and Chris Vitch.

Klein outlasted the rest of the 870-player field in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament. He cashed $231,483 and now has 29 career WSOP cashes, which has added $1,464,249 to his bankroll. His first WSOP win came last year in the $1,500 Mixed No Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha tournament.

Vitch won his second WSOP bracelet in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Eight or Better tournament. He outplayed the rest of the 125-player field to pocket $193,125. Last year Vitch won the $2,500 Mixed Lowball Triple Draw tournament. He has 21 career WSOP wins totaling $913,154.

Checking in on the Player of the Year (POY) standings, Raymond Henson has moved into the top spot with 614.87 points, despite not winning a tournament yet. Henson may have not won a tournament, but he has reached four final tables and cashed nine times. That has earned Henson $282,518 so far, which looks more impressive when you compare it to the $28,630 he paid to buy-in to those tournaments.

A familiar name follows Henson in the POY standings. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson is second with 599.50 points. A former WSOP Main Event champion, and five-time WSOP bracelet winner, Ferguson is still looking for his first win this year. He has made one final table, finishing fourth in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Eight or Better tournament, and he's posted 11 cashes so far.

Rounding out the top three on the POY standings is John Racener with 580.05 points. Racener won his first WSOP bracelet in the $10,000 Dealers Choice Six-Handed Championship. Like Ferguson he also has 11 cashes so far at the WSOP.
