We recap the first week of the WSOP which includes great news for Ivey fans and a Main Event champion wins his third bracelet.

Congratulations to anybody who picked Phil Ivey in their WSOP Fantasy League, because he has officially been spotted playing in the $565 COLOSSUS:

Why is this newsworthy? Because Ivey has been mostly absent from the WSOP in recent years and when he was there, it was only in the High Roller events and cash games. This was because all of his infamous bracelet bets had dried up (and also perhaps because of the 'edge-sorting' court cases that were taking place at the time).

For poker fans the end of the bracelet bets seemed to be the end of Ivey trying to overtake Phil Hellmuth in the bracelet race (Hellmuth has 14, Ivey has 10), but now that he is playing in an event under $1,000, is it fair to say he has managed to book a bunch of action on himself to win another WSOP title?

Either way, it's fantastic news for poker fans everywhere.

Cada wins third bracelet

Elsewhere at the series the big story from last week was 2009 Main Event champion Joe Cada taking down his third career bracelet at a final table that featured fellow Joe and fellow Main Event champion Joe Mckeehen who was also looking to win his third.

Cada took down the $3,000 No Limit Shootout event for $226,218.

Tonight a very sick final table takes place in the $100,000 High Roller event featuring Nick Petrangelo, Stephen Chidwick, Bryn Kenney and Elio Fox, who took down the first open bracelet event of the year in the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty for $393,693.

The rest of the WSOP winners so far look like this, later on this evening you can watch the $10,000 Omaha Hi/Lo Championship for free on Twitch:

KidPoker's Vlog is back

Wanna watch Daniel Negreanu lifting weights? Us neither, but either way his Vlog is back and it should be interesting as always, because other than perhaps Phil Hellmuth (and now, maybe, Phil Ivey), few people will be going as hard to win a bracelet this year than KidPoker:

Will Ivey or Negreanu win a bracelet this year? Let us know in the comments:
