2011 WSOP: IT'S ANDY FRANKENBERGER'S TIME TO SHINE

Reigning World Poker Tour Player of the Year Andy Frankenberger added his first World Series of Poker bracelet to his trophy case earlier this morning at the WSOP.

Frankenberger won Event 28 - No Limit Hold'em - a prize pool a little south of four million dollars was on the line.

Frankenberger defeated Josh Evans heads up for his first PTPR Score of the 2011 season (this was Evans' second).

Owen Crowe, Tyler Kenney, Steven Merrifield, Frederik Jensen, Mickey Petersen and Jacobo Fernandez were other notables attempting to prevent Andy from collecting his first bracelet.

Meanwhile, we will have to wait an extra day to find a winner in Event 29 - the 10-Game Six Handed event. The bracelet was to be awarded earlier this morning but, we simply could not get it done on time.

Shaun Deeb held the chip lead for a while sadly, he went out in 4th and isn't part of the final three that are coming back today - those three are Chris Lee, Brian Haveson and Travis Pearson - here are their chip stacks:

Chris Lee 1,425,000
Brian Haveson 997,000
Travis Pearson 813,000
