The 18th bracelet was awarded Friday evening in the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelet Events after Andrii Derzhypilskyi defeated Luciano Hollanda heads-up to bank $154,322 in total prizes along with his first WSOP bracelet.
Derzhypilskyi began the day as a top-five stack and showed that he wasn't afraid to throw his stack around early. A run of cards helped Derzhypilskyi eliminated three in a row, setting the scene for the last seven and the Ukrainian pro was atop the leaderboard.
The average stack seemed shallow throughout the day and the play saw many preflop shoves.
