Nikita Kalinin — WSOP Online gold bracelet winner!

The Russian player won the bracelet tournament $2,500 Bounty NLH Championship, outlasting a field of 781 entrants. 20 players advanced to Day 2 of the tournament, where Nikita held second place in the chip count, right behind Arseniy Karmatskiy.

At the final table, Kalinin caught a run and personally knocked out almost all of the main opponents. In the tournament's key hand, Nikita got it in with AKs against the pocket kings of Garegin Amiryan. Catching an ace on the flop, Kalinin scooped a huge pot and gained control of the table with a stack of 124 BB. During play, Nikita also coolly snapped off a big overbet bluff on the river from the Portuguese player Pedro Neves.

The final heads-up against Audrius Stakelis didn't last long. The Lithuanian tried to bluff with an overbet on the river, but Kalinin confidently called him down with second pair.

For first place, Nikita Kalinin received $276,239, a gold WSOP bracelet, and a package to the Bahamas worth $30,000.
