WSOP 2010 is going pretty great for the 25-year-old American Jeffrey Papola. Yesterday Papola won Men "The Master" Nguyen in Heads Up, and got his first WSOP bracelet and also $667,433 (event #32, $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em / Six Handed).
Earlier last week Papola came also second in the $2,5K Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event, and took home a runner-up prize of $391,068.
So, the American earned a nice $1,058,501 last week, and is now also a strong competitor in the POY-race.
Below you can read more about Papola's amazing one million dollar week (from PL.com):
"It's been a wild rollercoaster ride for Papola, who arrived in Vegas a week ago, just hours before the start of the $2.5k event.
'I ended up getting second in that tournament,' Papola said. 'Within 10 hours, I was playing in this tournament. So, I have been playing for six straight days. I have not had more than 12 hours of rest at a time'
Papola's story is even more impressive considering the competition he overcame at the final table for the bracelet win. Erick Lindgren posted his best finish of the 2010 WSOP, finishing sixth.
But a more imposing challenge awaited Papola when the tournament went heads-up, with Papola against Men 'The Master' Nguyen. It was the online specialist Papola coming out the victor after a lengthy heads-up battle against the seven-time bracelet winner Nguyen, who was looking for his second WSOP 2010 bracelet and eighth overall."
Not bad at all, let's see if Papola can catch two or even more bracelets this year.
