TJ Cloutier's WSOP bracelet is on its way to Cake Poker HQ.
As we implied, rather blatantly in a previous post, Cake Poker did in fact purchase TJ Cloutier’s WSOP bracelet off eBay. Our initial impulse upon seeing the auction was to say, “Hey this is a cool piece of poker history. We love poker. We should buy a WSOP bracelet!” So we did.
Since winning the bid, and celebrating wildly, we have taken some time to reflect on our glorious new prize. As much as we would love to have a WSOP bracelet, or even award it to one of our cherished poker players, we can’t, in good conscience, keep it from the man who rightfully won it; which is why we’ve decided to return it to TJ Cloutier… just as soon as we’re done having some fun with it.
No, there will be no sacrilegious treatment of the artifact, but we figure we’ve earned a few photo shoots with it, maybe a couple nights wearing it to a buddy’s home game. We’ll just hold onto it for a couple days. Call it a finder’s fee.
The bracelet is currently in the mail and on its way and should hit our wrists sometime next week. Stay tuned.
