3 WSOP bracelets handed out on Tuesday

Some days the action at the World Series of Poker is fast and furious, with four or five events taking place at the same time and multiple bracelets being awarded. And so it was on Tuesday, as three WSOP bracelets were won yesterday, including the conclusion of the Millionaire Maker tournament.

Benny Chen wins Millionaire Maker

The big story at the 2013 WSOP on Tuesday was the crowning of the winner of the Millionaire Maker tournament, a record-setting $1,500 No Limit Holdem tournament that attracted a field of 6,343 players. The winner of the event, Benny Chen, drew praise from the commentators for his flawless play from start to finish. Also at the final table was Dan Kelly, who made his second final table of the 2013 WSOP, and now has a 5^th place finish to go along with his 6^th place finish last week.

Here is a look at the final table payouts from the tournament:

1. Benny Chen — $1,198,780
2. Michael Bennington — $741,903
3. Jonathan Gray — $534,506
4. Justin Liberto — $400,408
5. Dan Kelly — $302,104
6. Chris Hunichen — $229,575
7. Upeshka Desilva — $175,714
8. Robert McVeigh — $135,467
9. Theron Eichenberger — $105,154

Matt Waxman bests Eric Baldwin for First WSOP bracelet

Event #7 at the 2013 WSOP was a $1,000 buy-in No Limit Holdem tournament that attracted 1,837 entrants; no small feat considering it was pitted against the Millionaire Maker event. The final table will likely go down as the battle of the Young Guns, considering five of the top young players in the game were amongst the final 10 players in the tournament, including eventual winner Matt Waxman, 2009 POY Eric Baldwin, Amit Makhija, 2012 bracelet winner Brent Hanks, and Jason Koon, one of Bluff Magazines Young Guns.

Here is a look at the final table payouts from the tournament:

1. Matt Waxman — $305,952
2. Eric Baldwin — $189,200
3. Jess Dioquino — $130,825
4. Amit Makhija — $94,353
5. Brent Hanks — $68,975
