Johan Guilbert arrived for the finale of the $25,000 GGMillion$ Single Day Turbo at WSOP Paradise already wearing gold. Bracelets wrapped his wrist. A gold watch gleamed on the other arm. But the one piece of jewelry that had defined his poker ambitions for more than a decade — a World Series of Poker bracelet — was still missing.
That changed by the end of an unscheduled Day 2 inside Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas.
Guilbert powered through the final table, defeating a 287-entry field to capture his first WSOP bracelet and a career-best $1,534,645 payday.
