His first bracelet came in 2017 during the $1,000 Tag Team NLH event when he finished on top with partner Aditya Sushant. His second bracelet came only a month after his first when he took down the $1,000 WSOP.com Online NLH Championship event. Now, six years later, Java adds another bracelet to his formidable poker résumé and joins the exclusive club of three-time WSOP bracelet winners.
