Daniel Sepiol wins first WSOP bracelet
An amazing six months for the reigning World Poker Tour Championship winner as he wins his first bracelet in the Shootout event.
Six months ago Daniel Sepiol put on the performance of a lifetime to win the World Poker Tour Championship. Last night he did the same to capture his first ever bracelet.
He defeated a field of 1,534 and a final table that included Jeremy Ausmus, Daniel Strelitz and Scott Ball, to capture the $1,500 Shootout bracelet.
He took down a first prize of $305,849 after besting Robert Natividad heads-up.

It almost did not go his way, however, as he had to overcome a 17-to-1 chip disadvantage heads-up after a mistimed bluff.
"It doesn't feel good, especially when you just bluffed off your entire stack but I kind of, like, played my stack that was in front of me and just tried to make the best decisions," he commented after the win.
