Notable Information

The only winner of a WSOP gold bracelet at the Rio on Sunday was Frankie O’Dell, a longtime poker pro who picked up his third bracelet. All have been in Omaha-8.

O’Dell commented on a tough final table, “It was a war because you had warriors in there … Then you’ve got me: old school poker.” He said he had the opportunity to win and took it. “I had chips, we had the best Omaha players in the world in this tournament, and I ended up on top.

The win was dedicated to his daughter and her newborn son.

Congratulations to newest three-time WSOP bracelet winner Frankie O'Dell. All three of Frankie's bracelets are in Omaha Eight or Better:https://t.co/fxMws26D1p pic.twitter.com/XRFi2vGznI
