May the Leif Force be With You: Wins Event 3 at WSOP and First Bracelet
One of the more interesting names on the poker circuit today, Leif Force, has just won the Event #3: Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em / Pot-Limit Omaha. He beat out Jason Coon for the 1st place prize of $207,708 and was awarded the second bracelet of this year’s World Series of Poker.
The Tallahassee, Florida-based player has his first bracelet. This is his fifth live tournament victory and 31st cash win. His total earnings are just over $2 million to date.
An interesting factoid about Leif is that he is the only person residing in the United States with the name “Leif Force”. Betcha didn’t know that!
Leif was born to hippies and, yes, he does resemble the Geico Caveman when his hairs is not washed (Thank you Mike Matusow for pointing that one out)
Elsewhere, Event #4: Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8 or Better was won by Cory Zeidman with big name pro Michael Mizrachi finishing a strong 5th. Zeidman earned his first ever WSOP bracelet. His live tournament winnings now total just shy of $500,000. He has 12 cashes to date.
