It’s time to give out a WSOP bracelet in Event 11: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em! Six hopefuls will be vying for the most coveted piece of jewelry in poker as well as the $442,385 first-place prize.
This bracelet will be particularly desired as some of the most prominent names in the game without a bracelet make up the six remaining players. Shannon Shorr enters today as one of those who will be looking to add a WSOP bracelet to his list of career achievements. His 72 WSOP cashes totaling over 2 million in earnings make him one of the most distinguished players to not have a bracelet to his name. He holds a significant chip advantage, with nearly half of the chips in play residing in his stack and triple the amount of the next closest stack.
Maria Ho will also be challenging for an elusive first WSOP bracelet. One of the most well known players in the game, she has come close in the last few years with four WSOP final tables to her name.

6 | Ognjen Sekularac | Serbia | 2,000,000 | 50 |
Looking to spoil the attempts of Shorr and Ho and looking to add another notch to his ever-increasing poker resume is one of the most in-form players in the world, Ali Imsirovic. The high roller extraordinaire has had an incredible 2019 already and winning a WSOP bracelet would turn up his hot year to blistering levels.
Another well known player at the table who has come very close in recent years to a bracelet is Daniel Strelitz, who has a 2nd place and 3rd place finish on his resume along with winnings that eclipse 1 million.
All of Serbia will be rooting for Ognjen Sekularac as he will be looking to win not only his first bracelet, but also be the very first bracelet won by a player representing that country.
Rounding out the superb six is Russia native Arsenii Karmatckii, who is making his first WSOP final table after coming close in 2018 with a 10th place finish. He has over 1 million in career poker earnings and a bracelet today would only increase his standing among the most successful players from Russia.
With all these players and storylines returning to the felt, it's guaranteed that the final six will offer some tremendous chip flinging battles.
