The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise $5,300 Main Event kicked off on Saturday at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, and officials took the opportunity to reveal to players what they��ll receive it they��re fortunate enough to finish as the last player standing.
In addition to a seven-figure payday, the winner will receive a new WSOP Paradise Main Event bracelet that is hand-crafted by Jostens and features an island spin on the classic WSOP Main Event bracelet. Custom made from 10-karat yellow gold, just like the summer��s trophy, the WSOP Paradise Main Event bracelet weighs nearly 95 grams and is hand-set with 494 genuine blue topaz round stones.
��The WSOP Main Event bracelet is considered the richest trophy in sports, and our first Main Event bracelet for WSOP Paradise puts a fun spin on the trophy��s legacy,�� said WSOP Vice President Gregory Chochon. ��This is the World Series of Poker, we��re global and need a proper World Championship trophy to represent the newest home we��ve added to the series. Jostens delivered on that vision once again, and we can��t wait to see who takes home the first-ever WSOP Paradise Main Event bracelet.��

Renat Bohdanov was in the tank with 40,000 in the pot and 5?2?8?2?4? on the board while he faced a shove from Daniel Negreanu for his around 14,000. Bohdanov ultimately got away from it and Negreanu dragged in a pot that brought him back to the starting stack.

In a three-way pot on a board of A?Q?4?8?, Rony Verch bet 7,300 and Tom-Aksel Bedell raised to 18,200.
The player in between folded before Verch three-bet jammed to put Bedell to the test for his remaining 25,000. Bedell laid it down as Verch showed A?Q? for top two pair.
"I had two as well," said Bedell.
"Nice laydown," replied Verch.

Daniel Negreanu limped in and Renat Bohdanov raised to 3,200 from the big blind. Negreanu called and the flop was 9?4?9?.
Bohdanov check-called a 2,000 bet from Negreanu and the turn was K?.
Both players checked and the river was Q?. Bohdanov tossed out 5,100 and that was too much for Negreanu, so he tossed it in the muck.
