Joe Cada capped off an incredible summer by winning his second bracelet of the year and the fourth of his career in Event #75: $1,500 The Closer No-Limit Hold'em just days after finishing fifth in the Main Event. The 2009 Main Event champion bested a field of 3,120 entries to claim the $612,886 top prize. "I feel amazing. What a way to cap it off!" Cada said. "I've been running good and deep in every tournament, and the tournaments I busted, I feel good about how I played.

Ronald Keijzer triumphed over a field of 901 entries to take home his first bracelet and a $475,033 payday in Event #69: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed. Keijzer, who hails from Amsterdam, is the sixth Dutch player in history to win WSOP gold. The seasoned cash player overcame a tough final table that included Scott Bohlman, who finished in third, and French pro Romain Lewis, who finished runner-up. "I'm very happy. I love PLO tournaments and I came to Vegas especially for that," Keijzer said.
