Midena Takes Down Michigan Online Bracelet

WSOP

On Sunday, July 9, the sixth Michigan online bracelet of the summer was awarded in Event #6: $300 NLH. The event attracted 207 players who rebought 105 times in the Great Lakes State and generated a prize pool of $84,240 which was shared among the top 36 finishers.

Among those to finish in the money were six-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Michael Setera (4th – $6,823), Event #4 winner David Ferus (22nd – $817), and Event #6 winner Todd Estes (35th – $800).

At the end of it, Joe “Jdeener” Midena of Jackson, MI took home the bracelet and $17,884 after defeating Sung Je Cho in heads-up play.

Midena has no recorded live cashes and only has a few online cashes on The Hendon Mob. His closest attempt at a piece of WSOP hardware came last summer in an online WSOP Circuit event. He finished fourth in that event to narrowly miss out on the ring, but this time around, he was able to claim the title and his first gold bracelet.
