WSOP Online: Jeremiah Williams, William Romaine Rack Up Second Bracelet Wins

The World Series of Poker Online is approaching the halfway point at WSOP.com. A couple players scored their second championship bracelets over the last week with Jeremiah Williams and William Romaine finding the winner’s circle.

The win continued a nice run in the series for Williams. Timothy Faro also grabbed his first piece of WSOP hardware after stepping away from the game a bit in recent years. He detailed how much the win meant after redoubling his efforts to make his poker dream of winning a bracelet come true. Here’s a look at all the action from last week.

Event 14: $500 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Max

Jeremiah Williams (pictured in lead image), of Las Vegas,  grabbed his second bracelet after topping this field for $48,697. The win came after a third-place and two seventh-place finishes already in the series. 

The tournament brought in 561 entries for a $252,450 prize pool. Christopher Basile, of Laurel Springs, New Jersey, finished runner-up for $139,600.

Formerly of Illinois, Williams now has more than $284,000 in WSOP winnings, much of that coming online. His first bracelet came in the 2021 WSOP Online, winning a $1,000 NLHE event for ​​$139,600.

Event 13: $1,000 NLHE

“Bckdrboogie” took the title in this event for $69,740. Mark Liedtke, who has four circuit rings, finished in second for $50,260 with Andrew Dean in third for $36,726

Event 12:$400  NLHE Ultra Deepstack

Jesse Yaginuma, of Los Angeles, California, secured his first bracelet in this event and a nice cash of $47,420. The event produced a field of 763 entries for a prize pool of $274,680.

Already a two-time WSOP Circuit ring winner, Yaginumam now has a bracelet as well. He has just over $1 million in WSOP winnings. Paul Dewald finished runner-up for $34,665.

Event 11: $400 PLO Six-Max

Tanner Bibat came out on top in the -four-card action, scoring his first bracelet and $29,459. The player from Atlanta, Georgia, has 70 series cashes and now has some hardware for those efforts.

The tournament brought in 365 entries for a $131,400 prize pool. Arkadiy Tsinis, of Miami, Florida, just missed out on his second bracelet, finishing second for $21,024.

Bibat apparently found some success late in the tournament against one particular player – Daniel Negrenau.

Faro was overwhelmed at winning and posted his feelings about the win on Twitter. A regular on the live WSOP Circuit, Faro took a break to start a business and spend more time with family.

Last year, Faro returned to poker and made it a goal to take the game more seriously. He was pleased to see everything come together on Sept. 21 for the title.

“To me, (winning a bracelet) meant more to me than any amount of money,” he noted. “It made all the work I put in worth it. I proved to myself that I belonged and that I’m capable. I haven’t slept yet and part of me still doesn’t believe it, but we did it and I couldn’t be more excited about it. I feel like I got the money off my back.”

Looking ahead

Players have plenty of action remaining at WSOP.com. Players in Nevada and New Jersey can look forward to including the $777 Lucky 7s and $1,000 Turbo Deepstack. Here’s a look at the remaining schedule.
