Yeah, I know we write that every year, but until somebody has the audacity to win a bracelet in an event they enter on their 21st birthday, or they lower the legal gambling age in Nevada, or move the WSOP offshore, this one’s probably gonna stand. Steve Billrakis at the ripe old age of 21 yrs. 10 friggin’ days grabbed his first WSOP bracelet this week. He took down Event #1, a $5,000 buy-in Mixed Limit/No Limit event, beating out Greg “FBT” Mueller in the process.
Billrakis is mainly an online player, since HE’S TOO DAMN YOUNG TO HAVE DONE ANYTHING ELSE, and goes by the handle of “MrSmokey1.” Another killer poker player who still gets carded to get into rated-R movies, Steve Paul-Ambrose, was also at the final table. I gotta go take a friggin’ geritol.
