Posted on: October 2, 2023 08:46 PDT

A busy weekend in the US-domestic portion of the ongoing WSOP Online series wrapped up action on Sunday with a pair of highlight results. In Event #16, $400 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em, Daniel Chan became the series' second double-bracelet winner, while veteran pro Shannon Shorr claimed his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet in Event #17, $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Max.

Chan's second bracelet within a week's time was also worth $61,125.40, and it followed his triumph in Event #13, $500 No-Limit Hold’em. Chan, who is also a five-time WSOP Circuit ring winner, joined Calvin Anderson as the series' only double-bracelet winners to date. Shorr, who has won titles almost everywhere except at the WSOP, moved his recorded tourney earnings over the $12 million mark with his $89,125.78 payday in the WSOP.com-hosted event. Shorr has now won over $3.5 million in WSOP events.

Shorr also recorded himself celebrating the historic achievement:

Shorr sealed the win by eliminating two-time bracelet winner Maxx "mc4chess" Coleman, who cashed for $55,067. Chris "battenfield" Battenfield finished third for $37,867.09.
