2015 WSOP Day 9: Lehr Gets Second Bracelet, Kakon Scores First

The 2015 World Series of Poker at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino rolled on with another packed day on Thursday. Two bracelet events finished up, three continued, and another $10,000 tournament got going.

It took a mere 24 hands before the first piece of gold was captured, the second one for a long-time competitor.

Lehr Beats Volpe To Capture $10K Heads-Up Championship

Keith Lehr won his second WSOP bracelet taking down one of the premier events of the summer Thursday: the $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship.

Lehr collected $334,430 in first-place prize money after defeating Paul Volpe in a relatively quick final match that lasted just 24 hands.
