More Loot for the "Italian Pirate": Max Pescatori Wins Second Bracelet of the Summer

Brian Hastings has some competition in the 2015 bracelet chase.

Max Pescatori captured his second bracelet of the 2015 World Series of Poker – tying Hastings – by winning Event #41: $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low Championship. He won $292,158 in prize money for coming out atop the 111-player field.

The “Italian Pirate” vaulted into the rarefied air of four-time bracelet winners, joining a club that includes names like Bobby Baldwin and Amarillo Slim. To do so, he had to overcome well-respected British pro Stephen Chidwick and six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu in a brutal three-handed match.
