With the November Nine removed this year, the final World Series of Poker bracelet awarded on U.S. soil would go to the winner of the Global Casino Championship.
The GCC brings together all of the players who have excelled most throughout the season on the World Series of Poker Circuit, and Sean Yu fought his way through the tough field of 124 runners to capture $296,341 and a gold bracelet. Yu, who already had two WSOP Circuit gold rings to his credit, won his seat into the event by defeating Eli Elezra heads up to win WSOP Circuit Planet Hollywood last September.
