Brian Green wins first bracelet of 2019 WSOP

Brian Green has achieved one of his major poker goals and claimed his first World Series of Poker Bracelet in the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty tournament. He won $345,669 and claimed the bracelet on his 27th WSOP cash.

“It feels wonderful,” he said after he won.

“I’ve come close several times so to finally win one kind of gets the monkey off my back. Now I can play poker and not really have that on my mind.”

This is Green’s fourth WSOP final table and he has a second and a third place finish. In consecutive years, 2001 and 2002, he finished in the top three of the $5,000 Limit Hold’em. In 2001 he finished third to Hemish Shah and in 2002 he finished second to WSOP Hall of Famer Jen Harman. He also finished fifth in the 2016 High Roller for One Drop.
