Canadian bracelet tally now at 9 following wins in Event #38 and #39

Team Canada is putting together one of the most impressive performances of any country not named the United States in World Series of Poker history. The contingent of poker pros that crossed the northern border with the US to play in the WSOP have now won nine bracelets in 39 tournaments at the 2013 WSOP, and have made countless final tables.

For a little perspective, The US has won 867 WSOP bracelets, Canada is #2 with 42, and the UK sits in the #3 spot with just 26. The nine bracelets by Team Canada is a WSOP record for a non-US country in a single WSOP, and that number still has a good chance to rise with over 20 events left on the WSOP schedule.
