On Sunday, October 31, Halloween was kind to John "Relevancy" Ripnick, who won a World Series of Poker online bracelet in Event #6: $666 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Max, his first bracelet, which paid $114,898. The champion, who finished off his title early Monday morning, beat out a field of 720 unique entries, plus 309 more rebuys (1,029 total), on the WSOP.com poker site.
Last week's online champion, Kazuki "hyahhoo3" Ikeuchi, attempted to go back-to-back. Although he had a big stack after the money bubble had burst when the 168th place finisher was eliminated, the breaks didn't go his way the rest of the way.
