The World Series of Poker has opened in style with Elio Fox taking down Event #2 $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Super Turbo Bounty, and there are 14 players left in the Casino Employee event going into Day 2 

I was there, in Cannes, when Elio Fox won his first gold bracelet. He chose one hell of an event to secure his first sliver of gold, facing the likes of Jake Cody, Chris Moorman and Patrik Antonius, and now he has two after wading through an equally star-studded field.

Fox outlasted 243 entrants to win the first of what I believe will be many $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Super Turbo Bounty events in the future. The High Rollers will lap these one-dayers up until the cows come home.

The final table contained a few darlings.
