2009 July 27 Poker News, Events and Happenings

Lisandro won three bracelets, all in Stud events, to capture WSOP Player of the Year honors, while Ivey won two bracelets before claiming a seat as part of the 2009 November Nine. While those two superstars took the poker world by storm, Poker News Daily was at the Rio all summer to catch some of the other memorable stories from the world’s largest poker event.

Matt “ch0ppy” Kay claimed his second win in a PokerStars Million Dollar Guaranteed tournament this past Sunday by taking first place in the monthly PokerStars Turbo Takedown. 24,445 players began the tournament, each putting up 2,000 frequent player points to participate but after hours of play, only Kay remained earning the prestigious title and $40,000.
