It’s the standard of excellence against which all other poker accomplishments are judged.Īs the old saying goes, there are two types of poker players, those who have won a bracelet and those who have not. Winning a bracelet is the equivalent of winning the World Cup in football, Stanley Cup in hockey or a Super Bowl ring in American Football. That is, win a bracelet and etch your name in poker history.
