Bryan Hollis Wins WSOP Event #1: $565 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold'em

is the first bracelet winner of the 2017 World Series of Poker after winning the $565 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold'em event. Hollis defeated Chris Solomon in just 25 short hands of heads-up play to collect his first bracelet and the top prize of $68,817.

In the final hand, Hollis three-bet from the big blind and flopped top pair. He put in a continuation bet on the flop, and Solomon shoved his remaining chips in the middle with ten-high. He was drawing dead by the turn and it was all over.
