If you are a serious poker enthusiast you know what this bracelet represents and all that comes with winning it.

If you are a serious poker enthusiast, the last thing in the world you would want is someone else's bracelet, unless it was a memento of a close friend.

Ive never understood literally buying bracelets.

If that's the case then I hope Harrah's buys it and destroys it if the family doesn't want it, or a friend buys it as a reminder, rather than have a poser buy it and wear it as his own.

I could see this as being valuable as a collector's item, not something a person would wear as a fake achievement. If you bought a homerun ball hit by Babe Ruth off of Ebay, I doubt you would tell people you were the one who knocked it out of the ballpark.

I thought Liz Lieu negotiated a bracelet as well.

I think that that is a little different circumstance. This should be compared more to a ring won in the stanley cup, or buying a green jacket from the masters. Comparing that to something babe ruth hit out of the park is stupid.

Great collectors item . . .

Poker and American Rounders are two very different things; at my local cardroom I wouldnt put it past half the players to claim it was won by them

If my family ever did this to one of my bracelets I would totally comeback and haunt their arses.

The Liz Lieu deal (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/article.php?a=r&p=0&n=315) was for a LA Poker Classic event. Maria Stern (http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/2006/07/wsop-event-34-rebuys-rebuys-rebuys.html) would be one of those "buy a WSOP bracelet" stories.

Why does it say 2004 on the bracelet but not April 22, 2004 on the bid thingy? It gives the impression that he won it in 2005. $2600 cashed, interesting.

I believe there's 2 separate auctions with WSOP bracelets offered that are being referenced.

Has to be some type of curse that goes along with buying a WSOP bracelet. Im thinking along the lines of, this person will never win a poker event ever again.
