Sandeep Pulusani is the latest gold bracelet winner at the 2013 World Series of Poker. Pulusani took down Event #44: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em after four days of play and outlasted a field of 1,072 runners. He was ranked fourth when the last day kicked off, and he made it to heads-up against Niall Farrell after several hours of play.

Farrell, from UK, had a massive 8-1 lead when the match started, but somehow he still didn't stand a chance against the American, who won several all ins and dominated play throughout the battle until he claimed the WSOP bracelet and a whopping $592,684 first prize. A very impressive comeback! 

Phil Ivey keeps on impressing with more fantastic results and achievements! Not many hours ago, he did it again as he took down the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E event! Phil made it to the final table alongside with some other big names in poker - John Juanda, Jeff Lisandro etc. Anyhow, Phil made it to heads-up against Bill Chen and it didn't take long before he sent him off the rail as well and grabbed his 8th bracelet! It's almost a bit sick (and unreal) that a poker player can be so extremely successful both online and live. And we shouldn't forget that Phil has made some serious cash from prop bets as well. Phil Ivey is, if you ask me, a complete gambler that deserves to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame within the next few years!
