Which is the bigger achievement: Bob Pollard's no-hitter in college baseball or Steve Albini winning a WSOP gold bracelet?

Chicago's Steve Albini earns first WSOP bracelet by winning long-running seven-card stud event.

Chicago, Illinois' Steve Albini has earned his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet in the 2018 WSOP's Event #31, $1,500 Seven Card Stud. Albini's victory over a 310-entrant field was worth $105,629.

Albini, 55, a recording engineer from Chicago, pulled off an unusual double at the final table. Albini busted six-time bracelet winner Chris Ferguson in fourth, then outlasted another six-time bracelet winner, Jeff Lisandro, to seal the victory.

Albini's career-best payday more than doubled his previous lifetime WSOP earnings of $58,599, collected in five previous cashes.
