Bari Bucks Monkey, Wins First WSOP Bracelet

Bari dominated the final table of the $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em event in Las Vegas over the last two days, entering the final nine among the chip leaders and persevering until just him, the bracelet and $874,116 were left at the table. Bari defeated poker pro and Amazing Race contestant Maria Ho heads-up. Bari has been playing live tournaments since 2004 but, despite more than $1.7 million in earnings, a major title had thus far eluded him.
