Heads Up Déjà Vu
Jeff Papola and Men Nguyen are now heads up for the bracelet. Both have been in this exact spot in the last two weeks. Men defeated Brandon Adams heads up to win his seventh career bracelet in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship. Only four days ago, at the final table of the last 6-max event, Jeff Papola was in the same seat he occupies now. He lost heads up to William Haydon after outlasting 1,243 other players. In this 6-max, he's survived 566 players to get one more shot at the glory.
Nguyen, on the other hand, has a a chance to become this year's first double bracelet winner. He's already locked up a three-way tie for WSOP Player of the Year, but if he wins, he'll pass Michael Mizrachi and James Dempsey and become the man to beat for the summer's top honor.
