Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Jake Cody will battle for the first WSOP bracelet of the 2011 season. It's the 2009 WPT World Champion vs. the 2010 EPT and WPT title holder.
Surprisingly, neither player have any PTPR Scores on the season, that is, until today.
This title could be especially big for Cody. Cody is looking to become only the third player in history to hold a triple crown - a EPT, WPT and WSOP title. The EPT Deauville and WPT London Champ can make history and join Gavin Griffin and Roland de Wolfe in the process.
