First Bracelet Ceremony of the WSOP

Shamus

WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack presents Andrew Cohen with his gold bracelet for winning Event No. 1

While play continues in the $40K no-limit hold'em event over in the Orange section of the Amazon, the first official gold bracelet ceremony is taking place over at a podium near the televised table arena on the other side of the room.

Andrew Cohen of Las Vegas, winner of the Casino Employees Event last night (Event No. 1), just received his gold bracelet from WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack, followed by the playing of a rousing recording of the United States' national anthem.

Afterwards, three minutes were added to the tourney clock for the current level, about the same amount of time it took to get to "home of the brave."
