While Awaiting Trial for Intent to Murder Wife, Poker Player Wins Online Bracelet

A man who is accused of brutally attacking his wife apparently won a World Series of Poker (WSOP) online bracelet on WSOP.com in Michigan last week.

Rudy Gavaldon, a 36-year-old from Traverse City, is currently awaiting trial in Grand Traverse County, Michigan from an alleged violent incident that took place on July 29, 2022. He faces felony charges of intent to commit murder and for being a habitual offender. In 2011, he pled guilty to larceny in a building and third-degree home invasion. He was sentenced to 11 months in jail and 36 months of probation.
