On May 31 (Saturday) an Aria poker dealer was able to snag his very first gold bracelet after winning Event #1 of the 2019 WSOP. He says working as a dealer is a big part of the reason he was able to win his first WSOP bracelet.

great win for this dealer from aria poker and with investment of 500 $ he got more then 62000 dollars and golden bracelet which he will win maybe only once in life!its nice to see 685 players at this tournament!hope that event will be every year!
Great win, he probably made more on this night than what all of his earnings would be (by working as a dealer) after taxes for a year so it's definitely a success for him. Now he only need to be remain smart about what he is gonna spending this money on.

The game of the dealers ended nicely for this employee of a casino. I did not expect as in a dealership game to register 685 players. I think they came from all over the United States and maybe more. I am even surprised by this. Congratulations to the final table players.
685 players are not very many, so it was probably not very difficult to become a winner .... on the other hand, there were a lot of casino players who watched a poker game for a long time and learned how to play well ... therefore it was difficult ... Not I judge the results .... but a wonderful result of winning $ 62,000 .... very cool

It was a nice win. With the amount of buy in the return was great. And the player field wasnt a small one, so the game was not easy. We can see in the winners list that all the players are from canada and usa. An equal share this time for both of them

I would like the WSOP to make a game of the stars and here to come actors, singers, athletes, businessmen, primary, politicians and others vip's. It will be very interesting to see a bracelet winner like Christiano Ronaldo, Enrique Iglesias etc...

Why? Most of them probably mediocre poker players, what good would come out watching them play for days?
Wow, such a large player field in this tourney for casino employees. This tournament attracted more players than some of regular ones. Of course the buy-in is not so big, only $500 but I'm still amazed by the number of casino workers

That's why it's interesting because we have the opportunity to see how many other celebrities have a good or bad mentality. VIPs existing in our world must to play and we have to laugh or appreciate their style of play. There will be only a lot of fun here.

I hardly appreciate Ronaldo on the football field, now imagine caring about him next to a pokertable

A game per year does not hurt and were football players who signed with Pokerstars advertising contracts. I do not think these stars will get stuck in the nose, if they play once a year a poker game. I'm sure there will be many stars who will play with pleasure.

The whole thing is that casino workers did not have the right to participate in various poker tournaments .... And now they got this right .... and the participation fee is not very big ... only 500 dollars .... employees who want to play I think a lot of casinos .... Every day they looked at the game and imagined how they would play with such a card
