There were three more gold bracelets awarded on another busy day at the WSOP, including in The Reunion, $1,500 Dealer’s Choice and the $1,000 Super Turbo Bounty.
Find out who the lucky few were that took down WSOP gold during Tuesday’s action.
Long Ma beats a huge field in the Reunion
After three Day 1 flights and two additional days of action we have a winner in the $500 Reunion. Long Ma finishes on top by outlasting 12,973 entries to win a $513,604 first-place prize and his first gold bracelet. Ma, a part-time tournament player, had been a dry spell prior to the win but had a plan going into the final day.
“With a big stack I needed to know from the first few hands whether they would be aggressive with me or slow down and from that I pretty much knew the table and could control my stack and play.”
Following Ma with six-figure scores were Giuliano Lentini ($317,352), Max Tavepholjalern ($241,766), Alex Vazquez ($185,281), Michael Eddy ($142,847) and Anthony Cass ($110,794).

Canadian wins first 2021 WSOP bracelet for county
Jaswinder “Jesse” Lally took down the $1,500 Dealer’s Choice on Wednesday, winning the first gold bracelet for Canada during the 2021 series as well as the $97,915 first-place prize. Lally outlasted 307 entries over three days including Andrew Kelsall heads-up ($60,514).
With the win, Lally, who spends much of his time as a liquor store business owner, easily recorded his largest tournament victory of his poker career. He did this despite not ever playing some of the Dealer’s Choice games.
“I learned a lot playing all these games. Some of these games I’ve never played like Badacey or Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo Regular.”
Michael Perrone wins $1,000 Super Turbo Bounty event
Early Wednesday morning Michael Perrone took down the $1,000 Super Turbo Bounty No Limit Hold’em, the 10th event of the 2021 WSOP. The one-day event attracted 1,640 players including Shaun Deeb, who finished in 59th place for $2,505.
Michael Perrone, who has earned $575,322 in lifetime winnings, originally wasn’t planning on participating in the tournament. “I wasn’t even going to play this event, I was going to go to the Wynn today to play the $1,600 Day 1a.”
Holy shit I just won my first WSOP bracelet…

Sights and sounds from the WSOP
Oh Mikey! Just watched Matusow unplug his phone from wall outlet by computers. Must’ve tripped something because as soon as he did the tournament clock went down in #WSOP $10,000 Omaha 8 Championship.
“Should I plug it back in?” he asked in regards to his phone. “What happened?” pic.twitter.com/BMBc4ZjEuo
